Pros

Compensation is probably ok. You may end find your colleagues and peer tolerable.

Cons

The company is a rigid, top-down hierarchy where dissenting opinions are discouraged. There is a noticeable 'boss culture' that prioritises compliance over innovation; challenging the status quo often results in professional friction or penalisation. Additionally, leadership seems to favour aggressive restructuring and forced redundancies as a primary management tool, which has significantly impacted people's health, morale and psychological safety.

Pros

TAL has been a great place that is a large company in the industry but also feels close-knit on the inside. Opportunities are given to those that seek it. People are candid and passionate about their work.

Cons

Like most financial companies, change can be slow but progress is always happening. Sometimes there can be a dull in communication between management and teams.
