      Waste of technical skills

      Quantitative analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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

      Good place to spend a couple of years

      Associate director - it business analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Ability to work with the people from across the globe. Ability to learn finance and investment banking business. Stable work - once you're in it's very hard to get fired. The deadlines vary depending on the project but on average are realistic and reasonable. Remuneration generally above the market average. Easy way to stand out among others. Ability to work with the new technologies and learn from the good specialists, although it heavily depends on the project/area. Good benefits and learning opportunities, like Coursera, O'Reilly, Safari.

      Cons

      Little-to-no career growth opportunities unless you're willing to wait for a 5-6 years, generally you shouldn't expect any promotion or significant salary raise regardless of the performance or the responsibilities. Annual performance reviews aren't completely fair, hearing from your superior something like "I wanted to give you higher rating but my boss told me to give you this" is quite common. A lot of bureaucracy, which heavily distracts from the main responsibilities and complicates the processes. Conservative environment and strong opposition to the changes, unless pushed by the senior management. Day-to-day work only on the virtual machines, which are slow, buggy, unreliable and inconvenient.
