Pros
Extremely talented colleagues, Good and understanding immediate managers. Opportunity to take full ownership of your work.
Cons
Even though your colleagues are talented and good people to work with, all of these positives are in absolute vain because of the extremely toxic top management. The top management has absolutely no idea what they doing. The company's business strategy take a u turn every six months, whats next are tons of erratic decisions : half made project ideas, erratic hiring, erratic firing, switching teams and all sorts of stupid decisions which perhaps only a person with an unsound business mind would take . Many employees have seen through this hollow vision which the people at the top have and decided to leave, thus greatly reducing the only singular positive attribute about the company. Even at the face of such a high attrition rate, the top management remains apathetic about the situation. What is worse is, rather than accepting their truth that they absolutely have no care for their employees, do not want to answer to anyone and actively wish to cultivate a toxic "finance / trading firm" work culture in order to minimise costs, they pretend to have a "state of the art startup culture" which is employee friendly, completely transparent and boast about having a "flat organisation" where everyone has a say in the key decision making process. The only people who can survive in such an environment are "yes men" who regularly update their asana tasks with irrelevant superfluous details, because apparently asana is the only way the top management can see what is happening on ground. So much for being transparent and flat.
