Based on previous WSO threads, here are some insights on toxic cultures in certain banks:
French Banks: Specifically, Societe Generale has been mentioned for its hierarchical and exclusionary culture, especially towards non-French employees. The work environment includes yelling and berating, with demanding hours that can exceed those of typical US banks.
LMM PE Firms: Some lower middle market private equity firms have been noted for worse work-life balance and lower pay compared to bulge bracket banks. The work can be less intellectually stimulating and more focused on nitty-gritty management tasks.
General Toxic Cultures: There are mentions of banks where management touts "culture" as a selling point without maintaining it, leading to poor work-life balance and dissatisfaction among employees.
If you have specific questions or need more details, feel free to ask!
