- management in the finance department is extremely condescending and toxic - they will detrimentally impact your mental health by belittling you, emphasizing your mistakes publicly, and shift all blame to you rather than taking a look at themselves. There is no praise or recognition on your successes and things you’ve done well.
- promotions and recognition is based on how well you can play into their game of shifting blame and brown-nosing management. Anything you do to challenge or push-back will put you on their target list. The scary thing is they will seem to encourage contrasting opinions and challenges to status quo on face value, but doing so will bite you in the long run.
- probably the only function within the company that is completely opposite of the values the company claims to stand for - turnover is high and those who remain feed into the culture of snakes - vicious cycle
- don’t join u less you’re ready to wake up with a pit in your stomach everyday. If you didn’t have mental health issues coming in, you are more than likely to develop issues during your time here. Be prepared for personal attacks and scary behaviour that seem borderline psychopathic and narcissistic.
- undercompensated compared to market and management will gaslight u into believing u should be “grateful for the opportunity to work here rather than asking to be fairly compensated” - they have also grown to believe their own lies, posting job postings that require many years of stellar experience in investment banking and private equity without the compensation, reputation, and benefits to back it up. I’m not sure what they’re smoking into thinking someone that stellar would choose this company but it’s delusional. Many job postings are usually up on LinkedIn for months on end and eventually given up on and taken down.
