-Salary Doesn't Justify the Hours: While the base pay may seem attractive, it doesn't truly compensate for the extremely long hours and personal sacrifices required.
-Work-Life Balance Is Poor: Expect to work nights and weekends regularly. Burnout is common, and time for personal life is minimal.
-Biased Appraisals: Promotions and firings are heavily influenced by MDs, often based on personal bias rather than merit or performance. Pushing back on leadership can lead to sudden termination.
-Cold, Self-Serving Culture: There’s a noticeable lack of empathy in leadership. Communication is often poor, and the culture rewards self-promotion over teamwork.
-Lack of Diversity: Senior levels remain overwhelmingly non-diverse in gender, LGBTQI+, and background.
