Pros

Met some nice people but other than that none.

Cons

Worked in model validation and was made to believe it would be a data science type position in interviews. It was no such thing. Just reading and writing documentation and tons of beating a dead horse. So boring that after about a week I knew I needed out. Ancient technology Tons of reading documentation Restricted access to everything and data is all over the place and disorganized Late night meetings with people in Singapore No direction from leadership whatsoever Processes are all defined very vaguely so no one knows how anything is actually supposed to be done

Pros

I really enjoyed the office, the culture was great. Professional but relaxed. Opportunities are available if you want to advance.

Cons

It really depended on which team you were put on, I enjoyed working with my FAs. Base pay was not particularly high and it was up to the FAs to add any compensation. Some do and some don't.
