Man Group Employee Reviews about "senior management"

Pros

- Culture is good - Senior Management is knowledgable - Pay is great

Cons

None I can think of

Pros

Bright people, often interesting work, reasonable hours, pay good for some, very friendly, open, collaborative atmosphere.

Cons

- Business is more sales focussed than research focussed. - (Rightly) doesn't use shiniest newest tech everywhere but likes to pretend that it does. - Tech often patronised by fancy toys (eg 3d printer) as if this makes up for lack of salary increases. - Refusal by senior management to talk about areas of failure honestly to the employees, as if no one would notice if its not mentioned.

Pros

Entrepreneurial spirit, diversity of opportunity, willingness to support internal moves, occasionally interesting culture. A lot of fun, bright people. If you're in the right part of the business and friends with the right people can be very lucrative. Lunch budget is provided, although significantly less than it once was.

Cons

Highly political environment, senior management operate a very hedge fund approach which doesn't mix so well with a public company, very short term view, long working hours (in certain roles). Extreme discrepancies in terms of pay.

Pros

Overpay across ranks and functions Better to be an employee than a shareholder or client Strong retail distribution platform Some smart people still around from the old days

Cons

Don't listen to client needs Expensive products with limited transparent on fees Senior Management detached from staff and clients Hire rather than promote internally

Pros

A good firm with decent people - very sales driven and workers given freedom to work independently and contribute to the business. Senior management very approachable.

Cons

Likes to promote within - can be good but has led to underqualified people in certain positions. Historically, a lack of investment in people (and systems).
