you might be better off doing a headhunting job

Pros

Nice office, some nice coworkers , great insurance scheme, and free food once in a while

Cons

lack of real element in work, extremely task-based. don't be fooled by all the cool names like private equity or research or corporate debt,... because there is no such thing in your work. every day is mainly scrolling through a database and linkedin to find some names, and arranging for calls to happen.. confused management, no clear structure, favourism in place, lots of politics

Pros

Good colleagues, always collaborative and helpful

Cons

Don’t come here if you are looking for a consulting or financial related job, it’s more like headhunter. Don’t come here if you want work life balance Compensation is not fairly distributed among people based on their performance if you passed their interview, I believe you have a better place to go

Pros

Insurance benefits are awesome, covers full maternity journey.

Cons

- Expects employees to work till wee hours but not compensated for the efforts. - Employees are easily disposable. - New CEO came in and started firing exercise in a discrete manner, rather than outright indicating that it is a restructuring exercise.
