Pros

Can leave work on time Lots of annual leave System is fast Dual monitors in office

Cons

3 month notice period for all perm staff is a poor way to retain talent. Salary is pathetic compared to market. When this is highlighted to management, they deny this is true. Yet when they hire new staff, they earn more than current staff. It just feels like a KYC factory here. No one cares how u feel or how u are coping. Just do files until u drop dead from exhaustion. Senior management has no KYC experience so they have absolutely no idea on what’s happening on the ground Need to work in office during pandemic even though the job is 95% individual based and requires very little interaction with other colleagues. Now with pandemic over, everyone is 100% working in office. And nobody bothers to ask us if we are ok with coming back to office. We are just told to do so. Turnover rate here very high. People leave after 6 months or less. On the other end, those who can’t find opportunities elsewhere are stuck here for years

Pros

- Good work life balance. - Good atmosphere in my team.

Cons

- Salary is 30-40% under market, despite "above expectations" at performance reviews and consistent positive feedbacks. Run away if you're on a visa, they'll take advantage of you. - I agree with other comments, HR team is toxic, power play. - Slow. - Don't expect to be able to change things. - No IT culture, lots of manual tasks with low value added due to very poor IS. You'll spend half your time exporting data from legacy systems, manipulate the data and do low value added reporting. As an example, you need to go through a poorly designed UI to export a greek, and wait ~15/30min to proceed with another export. And you only have access to a quarter, so for a period of one year, it's 4 exports. Imagine having to export 3 different greeks over a year, that's 12 exports. - IT team couldn't whitelist yahoo finance endpoints after two years of back and forth with several IT teams.
