Pluspunten

Zero stress environment Very good work life balance 'Nice' people Work is interesting most of the time Job security - very little chance of being fired

Minpunten

Bureaucracy - you cannot do anything outside the box ever (there is a committee for everything - literally) Pay is below market (but you also work less + job security) People posture and talk a lot (the firm wants to be 'The Best Investment Company in the world' - lots of ambitious talking but reality is completely opposite Not a place to learn to become a good investor (people are very well education - e.g. Harvard MBA etc, but zero talent in investing). Under perform the benchmark for the last 20 years Everyone avoid taking any risk (the most conservative and boring place you can work in)

Pluspunten

"People-first" culture (though this is rapidly eroding, see Cons)

Minpunten

Technology Group (TG) and the former Data Strategy Group (DSG) are nothing short of toxic. Under the direction of COO Sam Kim Yong Sang, we are witnessing a cold, calculated "silent layoff" campaign. Long-tenured staff who have given their best years to the firm are being funneled into mass PIPs that are designed for failure, not growth. This isn't about performance. It’s a transparent maneuver to trim headcount and hit aggressive KPI targets without the PR fallout of a formal redundancy. Management is treating human beings like line items on a spreadsheet, ignoring the devastating impact on families and the mental health of loyal employees. The TG leadership has become a puppet for these metrics, destroying the very culture of trust that took decades to build.
