Nightmare - Senior Associate Lymon Employee Review

Some of the colleagues are nice

Toxic working environment Bosses are unkind

Extensive exposure to investment management industry in terms of local regulatory compliance. You get to learn a lot within a short period of time, take ownership and responsibility of your own work, be independent (of course, still subject to oversight by team lead/manager). Good stepping stone for individuals who wish to pursue working in this segment.

Management lacks appropriate management skills, very fickle-minded and disorganized. Management is very profit-orientated, oblivious to staff welfare even though it is clear that staff turnover rate is very high, they generally do not stay more than 3 years and some even resign within the first 6-months. Even though Management often say not to work over-time, but it is inevitable, because assigned work is just too much for each individual to handle, if you do the math, you will realize, you have to be prepared to work extra time and sometimes through your off days in order to complete your work. If there are delays in completing your work, you may be questioned during the weekly reporting, but the truth is, to finish the amount of work within the given timeline, requires over time. Of course, from Management's perspective, these may not seem to require much time or effort, not sure. Management's comments may be harsh and not encouraging nor supportive. Additionally, there is no proper standards written on right or wrong, good or bad, it solely depends on Management's personal views. Stubborn - Management thinks they are always right. The reward for good work is more work. In summary, Management is delusional, unable to see that staff are struggling and working too much, not amending their ways to mitigate high staff turnover rate.
