Incredibly political

Pros

Large company offers many different career opportunities; dynamic work; allows for remote work arrangements

Cons

Very political environment and people don't always interact honestly. Seems a perspective that one person's success is built on another's detriment.

Worst company culture

Pros

You are well remunerated and there are opportunities to move globally

Cons

Open bullying on the floor, abusive e-mails and sexism. People progress based on the cliques they have formed rather than merit and normally people who are intelligent such as Portfolio Managers and Analysts are treated badly by less educated sales staff. Very unprofessional environment with no one taking ownership. Racism and backstabbing not uncommon. HR is very inefficient and they have no interest in dealing with the issues. This is only an observation for the Asset management division in Sydney. The investment bank is known to be a more professional environment.
