1.Great to join if you are early in your career. 2. Salary & Increments are fine.

Dislikes

They follow a very rigid hierarchy structure. Seniors make opinions based on the views from their 1 downs. You can have all the valid points in the world but no one will take your opinion if you are a junior. 2. Too much importance is given if something is said by an onshore personal. Valid points are not a consideration then.

Great work culture You might not get to work on latest technology as Investment firms usually have legacy codebase But you'll get to learn a lot about trading and business requirements

Dislikes

Not using latest technology

Promotion and appraisals are on the lower side post covid and the management culture is a bit conservative and traditional.

The people. The culture. It is easy to reach out to people at any level and expect a reply from them. They will surely revert back.

The benefits, perks, pay structure, night shift allowance, office infrastructure.

Dislikes

Specific to my process, not sure about others 1. No support from managers 2. Although sufficient leaves are available but management creates issue in granting leaves. 3. No clarity related to growth/promotion. 4. Uncertainty of job in terms of layoffs. 5. No backfills/backups incase someone leaves the organization, have to work with limited resources.

Dislikes

Old senior employees exploiting new employees. HR supports office politics and no workplace ethics. No mandatory job rotation, which is causing people to stay with their loved ones and exploiting new comers. Senior management is playing blind & deaf role.

Office dress culture is relaxed. Hybrid work mode is good to have.

Dislikes

Poor job security and unfair appraisals and promotions. Coddling up to managers is required to get ahead and promoted. Kind of starting to become like TCS management. Tons of middle layer management in India.

1. Hybrid 2. Cafeteria 3. Colleagues

Dislikes

1. Corporate Bullying by some superiors 2. Bad training by trainee 3. Abusive language by trainee 4. Seniors expect quick results from some analysts but not from others(unequal treatment) 5. Seniors egotistically complain to HR that I am attacking them with words although I am asking a doubt.(It is like they don’t know the answer tothe doubt; just turn it towards me) 6. No one was there to guide me to my desk on the starting day. I made calls to all the HRs (who had contacted me for the job) but no one answered. I somehow managed to get a number of a random person sitting in Bangalore who called the concerned person to get me. I had to wait for 1 hour in the lobby. My manager was supposed to escort me to the floor but he was on holiday. 7. The IT team told me that the work setup will be delivered at home before my starting day. But it got delivered 1 month after my starting day. I raised many queries in the meantime. But my other colleagues had got their setup before their start. 8. The HRs did not pick or return my call till my starting day. There was nothing to get my queries resolved. They hardly replied to my mails asking for a callback. 9. The HR asked twice for my credentials for background verification.(And the senior expects me, a fresher, to be perfect at my work at the onset) 10. 3 of the seniors always pressurised me to be perfect because I am a qualified professional but did not pressure other analysts who had same qualifications as me. One of them commented that I don’t look like I am interested in work and always on mobile even I wasn’t. I swear to God, I wasn’t on my mobile for more than 5 mins a day; but my colleagues used to constantly use mobile. Even though I was excited for work, the seniors demotivated me everytime. 11. All of my team colleagues were frustrated at those seniors. Even a colleague(considered fantastic in work) from another team refused the offer to be on my team. 12. They will promote only those people who are dear to them whether or not they are capable....Read More
