Pros

Free coffee and soft drinks. Some of the technology used is the latest. Desks that go up and down.

Cons

Security overload without a consistent policy across the company, this leaves some teams scrutinised to an extreme degree and other teams left to create direct connections to the internet. This is both weird and slack. Far too many middle management creating pointless meetings and adding no value. Never worked for a company before with managers who only have two direct reports. This seems to be considered normal at G-Research. Having bizarre targets, the current target is that G-Research is number 1 in the world at doing something, but nobody in the company knows what that something is, just that it is to be number 1.

Pros

Competitive compensation. Some skilled colleagues who try their best under challenging conditions. Good coffee free lunch

Cons

No confidence in the CEO or Executive leadership. They avoid accountability and fail to address long-standing internal dysfunction. Lack of qualifications and skills for some executives and staff. Favourites gets rewards and promotions regardless of poor leadership skills or qualifications. Executive politics rampant. Blame routinely shifted, priorities change abruptly and high turnover among talented staff. Poor communication from senior leaders; goals unclear, frequent sudden changes, team structures confusing, staff expected to resolve cross-department issues without authority. Workplace culture marred by micromanagement, different opinions, changes, lack of up to date tech and scapegoating which leads to a poor environment. Innovation and strategic feedback discouraged. Genuine professional development unsupported. Most success comes from self-protection and playing office politics with the right people rather than any real support or clarity from management.
