Strange work environment and very opaque career progression
Pros
Nice new office in downtown Dallas
Cons
The environment is very micromanaged and surveilled. Other reviews stating that the company actively distrusts employees are accurate. It is an extremely secretive environment so much so that the lack of transparency made me uncomfortable. The management structure is bizarre with some teams managing just 2 reports vs others who are direct peers managing 10-15. Career progression here is also opaque. The titles at G-Research feel arbitrarily assigned and advancement is heavy on manager preference rather than clear benchmarking or metrics. The UK based recruiter was unnecessarily invasive during my interview process and it was unlike any experience I have had interviewing with a US company. I would really dig deeper before deciding to join here. My experience was not a pleasant one.
