Pros

Well it was a job, it paid well, and had good benefits

Cons

As I’ve seen with other reviewers, HR is horrible, and they wrongfully terminated me. Also, while they are wrongfully terminating me they have people doing drugs, people talking about stealing client information, everyone sleeps with everyone. Whatever, so glad I’m gone.

Pros

Great work life balance Flexibility to work from home

Cons

- Innovation Center is not at all innovative. Head of the silicon valley center has made it clear that the priority is delivery, not innovation. This is yet another development center, with added complexity of a very inexperienced leader. - Work gets thrown from the head quarter to silicon valley, with no ownership. Everybody wants "Silicon Valley" to solve all their problems, but they are not willing to let Silicon Valley center own anything. - Meetings ! Lots of Meetings !! Absurdly vague meetings starting at 5 am in the morning. No conclusions, or action items come out of any of these meetings. - Micromanagement is probably a pre-requisitve of the leaders here. From the top leader CIO to the managing directors, none trusts their employees to do their job. - Nepotism and biases towards a handful of people create a toxic environment for others. - The only goal is to hire more employees, more numbers. When there are client visits, everyone is instructed to show up to work and be at their desks, in formal clothes.

Pros

nice facilities, casual dress code

Cons

very low pay, terrible supervisors who do not teach you anything, terrible upper management who do not have a clue about what is going on with people who work for them. Not a very professional environment. Too many supervisors and co workers with attitude issues. The Wilmington De site has really high turnover. During my short time here I have witnessed 15 people leave for BlackRock or other companies.....thats 15 people in roughly 2 years out roughly 22-25 accountants. Although they do a lot of hiring to replace the people who leave the new hires do not look like they will stay long.
