Pros
Smart people in research and advisory. Good benefits. Culture of respect for each other.
Cons
Outdated processes. Lack of digitalization. Old tools are used. New tools are purchased but no training means underutilization - e.g. MS Teams is used poorly, no asynchronous file editing, instead drafts are emailed back and forth. Senior leaders are an echo chamber, they don't listen to employees or anyone outside the old club. No upward communication, just top down. They need fresh water in the pond - the few newer people don't last because it's a homogenous clique. Leaders only care about upward management. They don't care about employees and treat them as numbers that must produce activity-based metrics, instead of measuring impact. Career progression is impossible as people in senior levels all have company shares and don't go anywhere.
