Pros
- Great place to start your career - You learn a lot from your peers and management - Company is old and diverse; creates many opportunities for improvement - Lots of change is always happening. You can be a leader in change - They have been giving away free PTO days due to the current work environment - Great benefits compared to peers, but compensation is lower
Cons
- You are inundated with requests and you have systems that are so outdated, it takes hours, countless emails, and meetings to get tasks done - FLDP has lost a lot of it's value over the years to peers. You can see this through both the talent pool + management of the program. As a former FLDP, you sense how outdated and poor things are managed. - Culture is a bit toxic and dare I say 'fake'. We preach a lot of 'credo', but it is perfectly normal and acceptable for folks to work 8-8 or 7-7. Creates the expectation and isn't healthy for workers. Wish they practiced what they preached. - FLDP is not anywhere near its former caliber, has obvious mismanagement, and you are underpaid + grind hard. Some friends worked investment banking like hours. This is unacceptable. - All employees are generally overstretched
