-Technologically behind their competition by 2 years or more
-Increasingly corporate, and always pushing a cult-like notion that Funding Options is the best place to work, ever. And all the competition is either rubbish, or evil.
- Consistently over-promise and under deliver. Will tell you that your salary is being kept low because it's 'benchmarked', but actually hire people in lower positions than you with the same salary.
-Happy to push you hard and encourage you to take on more responsibilities, all the while telling you how key you are, and how good you are doing, but never actually reward this additional effort and achievement with more money.
-Keep hiring clueless 'Yes Man' management who know less about finance than guys who have been there 2 weeks. At serious finance firms, everyone who manages sales people knows what EBITDA means before they've got the job.
-Very image focussed, and always shouting about minor achievements in order to distract from the very serious flaws in the model.
-Consistently manage people out because they don't have a 'good atttitude', which translates to knowing your place and not complaining. Being positive is more important than being good.
