Pros

- most of the time, nice teammates

Cons

- low pay compared to other firms - bad culture, bad wlb. External hires are preferred over internal promotions, leadership team is lost and incompetent. Scholars that were promoted are clueless on what to do - Alot of layoffs disguised as PIP. But should be pip'ing upper management instead

Pros

"People-first" culture (though this is rapidly eroding, see Cons)

Cons

Technology Group (TG) and the former Data Strategy Group (DSG) are nothing short of toxic. Under the direction of COO Sam Kim Yong Sang, we are witnessing a cold, calculated "silent layoff" campaign. Long-tenured staff who have given their best years to the firm are being funneled into mass PIPs that are designed for failure, not growth. This isn't about performance. It’s a transparent maneuver to trim headcount and hit aggressive KPI targets without the PR fallout of a formal redundancy. Management is treating human beings like line items on a spreadsheet, ignoring the devastating impact on families and the mental health of loyal employees. The TG leadership has become a puppet for these metrics, destroying the very culture of trust that took decades to build.
