Pros

Medical benefits are decent here

Cons

Concerns have arisen regarding the efficacy of the current general management practices, prompting observations that suggest a potential disconnect between leadership and operational realities. There's a perception that the General Manager's role has, in effect, become more of a symbolic figurehead than a driver of substantive strategic direction. This is not to suggest a lack of presence, but rather a perceived deficit in demonstrable, impactful leadership. Specifically, there are questions concerning the degree to which strategic decisions are being informed by on-the-ground realities. The team has observed a potential lack of decisive action, and an apparent inability to translate high level strategy into actionable steps. The feeling is that the current management style is not effectively addressing the challenges faced by the team, and that a more proactive and engaged approach is required to ensure optimal performance. This observation is not meant to be a personal attack, but rather a reflection of the team's shared experience, and a sincere desire to improve the overall effectiveness of the organization. My manager's career has advanced exceptionally quickly, with promotions to associate director and then director occurring within a matter of months. This pace of advancement is notable. The rapid progression of my manager's career raises questions about the depth of experience in that leadership role. I did not get necessary guidance or support from my manager in relation to my deal pursuits. My ability to effectively sell KYC products was hampered by a lack of access to the required subject matter expert support. I observed that the Singapore leadership of the subject matter expert team focused on his own activities such as overseas travel and video production, which seemed to take precedence over active sales support. My termination occurred suddenly, following assurances from my manager that my performance was satisfactory and that daily office attendance was crucial for job security. This abrupt reversal of expectations has created a significant sense of broken trust, leading to instability and uncertainty.

Pros

- Good company wide culture (see notes below on ratings specific culture) good people - Great work life balance (especially for finance in NYC) - Opportunity to learn from most of the c-suite - If you want the return offer you can usually get it (only know one person from my year who wanted one and didn't get one). - The ratings intern program is essentially gauging if your competent to extend a return offer. You don't actually do much work for your team.

Cons

- Can't touch anything an actual associate does because of regulations in industry (don't get exposure with what you'll actually be doing full time). - Because you can't touch anything you basically spend the entire summer being talked at by senior analysts (learned a ton but can get repetitive). - Hybrid schedule is only really adhered to by associates on your team, so the office feels deserted at times. The seniors don't come into the office much. The ratings floors (separate from the rest of the business) have a stale and silent feeling. - Because you don't really do much for your team it's hard to create relationships with them. - Your capstone project can be on a completely different industry then the one you're assigned to.
