Bit disappointing for "leading hedgefund"
|
|
- one of the few hedge funds with some investment in technology in support functions
- majority of colleagues are great, friendly and helpful people
- lots of project work available not just day-to-day tasks
- Free PT & gym sessions are great
- Delicious free breakfast and lunch
|
- lack of flexible working options, (only wfh 1 day per week)
- lack of flexible holiday options (25 days - can't buy extra)
- very political
- poor pay in comparison to other firms
- some bad apples get away with throwing tantrums and treating others poorly

- Be more flexible, 1 day wfh is not flexible working
- pay people what they are worth
- improve culture of respect

Great employer
|
|
Very smart, helpful and collaborative colleagues all around.
Not too political for finance standards.
Solid tech stack and an unusually genuine focus on good technology, with actual trust placed into the tech organisation.
|
Very lean tech org compared to the size of the tech stack and overall find - meaning roles are demanding and can be stressful with a high degree of responsibility. Doesn't subjectively feel nearly as strenuous as most competitors though due to good management of company culture.

Consider pros and cons
|
|
Efficiency in Task Management: The focus on churning out tickets from a backlog highlights an efficient approach to task management.
Leadership Skills in Sales: The CTO demonstrates commendable abilities in sales, which is a valuable asset to the company.
Staff: most ground level staff is helpful and professional
|
Work Culture: There's an intense focus on output, often at the expense of fostering a culture of innovation and open communication.
Management Focus: There is a notable emphasis on technical skills in management roles, overshadowing the importance of soft skills and team development. This impacts the overall effectiveness of the management, especially for those promoted based on tenure or technical expertise alone.
Hiring and Team Growth: Certain teams exhibit challenges in hiring diversely skilled individuals, focusing excessively on finding "rockstar" candidates, which leads to gaps in basic coding and delivery.

Work Environment Improvements: Respond to employee requests for ergonomic enhancements like standing desks. This could lead to improved comfort and productivity.
Career Path Development: Establish a distinct technical track for long-term employees, offering them career growth opportunities without necessitating a move into management.
Redefine Managerial Roles: Encourage managers to prioritize hiring and team growth. Balancing the skillsets in teams can lead to more effective performance.
Comfortable Office Conditions: Adjust the office temperature to a more universally comfortable level, considering the diverse preferences of all employees.

Poor culture
|
|
Classy office with slow and predictable pace of work.
|
Terrible culture and poor compensations as compared to other firms in the industry. Tech here are treated as second class citizens. Senior management are narcissistic and do not listen to feedback.

Improve talent selections
|
|
Decent people around and good business strategy.
|
HR needs to improve the talents selection process. Do not overweight candidates with big smiles or polished resumes, then forget to evaluate what they could do and contribute as seniors. Newbies join as seniors, take good salary but contribute little.
