Pros

Free food and good industry par benefits

Cons

Dull unimaginative management, poor work culture, tech that is interesting if you're junior but quickly gets boring and is already way behind any major technology company, marginal career and growth prospects, and a nepotism that is institutionalized towards one or two schools and nationalities. There are companies out there paying less, but if you are ambitious, you should find a company that gives you a better career foundation elsewhere.

"Global Process"

Pros

Free food is no doubt attractive. I guess that's just it.

Cons

This place is all about "Global process" but I hope they know that we are all located in different countries with different laws & legislations/rules & importantly different cultures. This place totally ignores that which is horrid. The narcissism in this company is striking so imagine your boss makes a mistake, she'll just stay silent & detached & you'll not hear from her until you approach her to apologize. It happened to me & I still to this day have no clue why she (my boss) acts like that. At Squarepoint, do not dream of sharing matters close to your heart like for example the state of your mental health. I came clean about my anxiety issues to my boss but she shuts me down & had no sympathy for me while I cried in the meeting room in front of her. I had to thank her though because she terminated me anyways for being the strongest person in the room to have the courage to talk to her about my health. It's unfortunate because I once looked up to most of the senior managers here including my ex-boss as an inspiration to work hard but little did I know that they themselves have an outstanding personality issues. Most likely suppressed & brought it to work. Btw, I'm a Singaporean working in Singapore but my reporting line was in London. In Singapore, this is not allowed due to transparency should things go wrong but hey, it's "Global Process"

Pros

If you want to get good salary, bonus & other incentives and don't mind tolerating / working with boomers, yes.

Cons

Poor attitude especially from the corporate team in the senior management line most are bullies. They are naïve & not open to suggestions from the team which they managed. Mistakes the SMs makes gets ignored but not for other employees non management.
