Pros

Some good people, good location, nice building, good food, nice benefits.

Cons

On the digital side, development management from high-level directors on down focus on covering their backs and protecting each other from poor financial transaction software development resulting in numerous customer-facing billing issues. Never actually interested resolving the core platform issues, instead, hiding the data showing the faulty coding and forcing those out who raised the issues. Be a player or get played. No one speaks their mind, always talking out of both sides of their faces. It was like working in an elementary school.

Pros

clean, modern feeling building with good shared spaces, weekly mezzanine happy hours, and a cafe. the benefits are super comprehensive.

Cons

employees at the bottom rungs of the company are overworked and under compensated, both in salary and learning opportunities, while the VP level grows more bloated every year with the type of people who look good on paper but lack even the most basic management (or cooperation) skills; bad managers are never challenged to change, and the good ones have to work around the bad ones at every turn. every department seems to be working toward a different goal so collaboration is tough, and top-down communication is nonexistent. there is very little acknowledgement of success or proper accountability for failure. the paranoid politicking amid higher-ups is flatly ridiculous and their bad-faith negativity trickles down to everyone in the company - except maybe the midtown office security staff, who are lovely.
