Pros
- They pay over market average for junior employees since the turnover rate is so high (they can't retain top talent because nobody wants to work under such a toxic environment). Although you are paid slightly above market (+15K) the company is at such an early stage of its life where there are no real processes in place and you spend more time doing manual excel / sql work than learning the business (like for example our reporting is all done through excel files and everyone does their own thing and finds data from wherever they want). 90% of "Front Office" jobs are dead end. - Theres free lunch - You get an iphone since you'll be on call 24/7
Cons
- Horrible work/life balance - Management is extremely disrespectful / rude to its employees. - Get ready to get cursed out on calls on a weekly basis -Insurance solutions group was originally a D- tier asset manager which just so happened to get acquired by Apollo. They never invested in building out their technical systems / hiring software engineers and they are constantly haunted by data quality issues in databases. We literally lost a client because they said we had mickey mouse analytics. We have our CIO doing data quality checks because nobody else wants to do it. - Not a collaborative culture and many employees throw each other under the bus all the time. No sharing of information to gain a competitive edge. This is probably the worst part about working here. -
