Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec Senior Analyst, Tactical Asset Allocation in Montreal, QC (Canada): (Past Employee - 2009)

“First-class, innovative environment with highly competent people. Talent is underpaid, takes ages to move up the ranks.”

Pros

Brand name within the financial circles. Access to lots of resources. Possibility to venture with new financial products. Great work-life balance. People are very open to devise new ways of doing things.

Cons

People are underpaid compared to the rest of the industry. Can constitute a hurdle when leaving for other investment outfits. A bit bureaucratic. Highly political workplace in nature, i.e. can lead to illogical business decisions.

Advice to Senior Management

Please make sure that the environment is conducive to the career development of young talent. Age should not be a deterrent to promotion, talent and performance granted.
