Pluspunten

Working here made me appreciate every other job I've had. You can bond with your co-workers over the poor work culture.

Minpunten

- Every employee works a minimum of 10 hours a day with no lunch break. Work/life balance is nonexistent. - Even when taking PTO (which is two weeks, including any sick days) you will be called and asked to complete work. - I've never experienced such a micro-managing culture before. During COVID, we had to stay on Zoom for all 10 hours of the work day so our manager could watch and make sure we were working. When in the office, there are cameras everywhere. - Every employee signs a contract that they'll work there for a minimum of 2 years with repercussions if they try to leave before then. Otherwise the turnover rate would be abysmal. - They ask every employee to write a Glassdoor review when leaving so they know who wrote what. This is why there are so many misleading positive reviews. I waited to write this review after having been gone for awhile because of fear of retaliation if they knew who I was. - Diversity is non existent with no efforts to change.

Pluspunten

Q is genuinely a great place to work. The environment is positive, respectful, and free from the yelling or belittling you might find elsewhere. It’s highly collaborative, people don’t compete for deals or try to undermine each other. Instead, everyone works toward the shared goal of improving the firm, which is refreshing compared to workplaces where you have to constantly watch your back. The open-office setup was different from what I was used to, but it ultimately made the experience better. The team is strong, and the layout encourages conversation, learning, and camaraderie. You naturally pick up knowledge from colleagues nearby, and people are always working on interesting projects. If you overhear someone in credit or real estate discussing an investment idea, you’re welcome to ask about it. I learned a lot simply by being surrounded by smart people who were open to sharing.

Minpunten

The hours are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. Leaving early or stepping out for appointments is tightly controlled. This is communicated clearly during the recruiting process, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise.
