The worst company to work for

Pros

Good benefits, nice building, good IT support

Cons

Horrible culture, back stabbing, then they force you to resign by paying you a sum of money to walk away. No internal mobility. Poorly educated, abnoxious people. Also underpay their people. Sexist jokes in the office.

Pros

Clients have heard of the company. The AUM is huge. They have a massive product range. They have offices around the world.

Cons

Terrible management. Too many MD's. Hire & Fire. Larry Fink made 400 people redundant & paid himself $25m a year. Shows a real lack of integrity. Heard "Its just the way we do it" rather than the right way from management a hundred times. Experienced the worst line manager of a 20 year plus career. Nothing in writing, very poor listener. Clients thought he was out of his depth. Couldn't wait to get out!

Pros

Great benefits. If you are in the right team, the work/life balance and flex work is great. They invest a lot in their investment professionals

Cons

If you are not an investment professional, don't expect them to pay attention to you. The amazing career paths they have do not apply to the assistants. You work as you are and you are happy with it. Eventually, you will hit the salary ceiling and you need to be happy with that as well since it will not change.
