HR processes: lack of structure in people development process, lack of transparency in people promotion and growth, poor job performance evaluation process.
Employee - Associate
culture is very Hierarchical, male style.
Employee - Senior Vice President
The performance evaluation process and incentive program uses a curve-fitting model. The effect is that 50% of the workforce perceives itself as 'losing the game' each year and individuals are highly incentivized to compete with each other for rankings and to not collaborate. The effect in aggregate is to significantly increase the effort for getting work done. Suggestion would be to migrate to a more modern team-based incentive program.
Employee - Senior Vice President
There are some really great people who take pride in their work and in collaboration and there can be great opportunities to learn, but the overall culture itself is corrosive and the business prospects are dim.
Employee - Senior Vice President
When the company was in growth mode, culture was energetic and individuals could have a lot of autonomy. As company transitioned to contraction mode, culture turned toward risk management, control and self-preservation.
Employee - Managing Director
There needs to be a genuine focus on diversity. In our team, there has never been a female managing director for over 10 years I was there and from my understanding none for as long as one can recall and there were certainly very capable and great female producers at the desk. Also there is too much internal politicking in this bank.
Employee - Senior Vice President
Short term focused, rather than max long term shareholder value
Employee - Vice President
Benefits are generally good. Culture is typical for a European HQ'ed bank though. Very hierarchical and excessive bureaucracy. Favoritism towards European expats.
Employee - Vice President
A lot of the sweeter benefits that some employs have/had are no longer available to new hires. But in general, benefits are good, lots of vacation time, paid maternity, etc.
Employee - Vice President
Conservative and bureaucratic. Typical backstabbing of the trading floor. Hired a lot of people who were known in the industry for being ruthless or difficult to work with.
Employee - Senior Vice President
Needs a fundamental organization restructuring
