Pros

* High (albeit not ensured) annual bonuses; * Top-tier compliance and AML tools and resources, robust systems; * Good benefits - decent budget for home office, flexible hybrid approach. * Peers are generally very responsive, supportive, knowledgable in the field and are idea-driven; * Many 'in-development' processes which can be a good ramp for visibility if you are proactive.

Cons

* High tempo and potential micromanagement (rigorous work time monitoring, breaks/lunch logging, explaining missed minutes, etc.); * Some KPIs are inflated beyond any logic, the company treats AML sector strictly in 'quantity over quality' manner which directly translates how the specialists are treated too. Quality assurance is practically non-existent; * Terrible horizontal and vertical career paths and roadmapping, or lack thereof. Supervisors are clueless about any growth prospects and tend to shake off responsibility of assisting their staff in developing in any direction. Internal interview processes are very chaotic, managers won't always be familiar with actual job ad details, can be late to their own interviews (or do not show up at all). Also, internal hiring managers tend to play politics behind applicants' backs, discriminate based on specific team/jurisdiction, and avoid feedback or contact post-interview; * Zero knowledge and expertise development support. Managers will not provide you with any certificate or courses prospects, neither will HR - actually, they might suggest you to "ask your colleagues to forfeit the team-building budget for your certificate"; * Some AML functions demand staff to work during inconvenient shifts, late hours, weekends; * The company seriously struggles with its employee rating and performance review system which gets re-done every quarter when CZ gets obsessed over a new radical system.
