Business Outlook

Pros

Good team culture, work culture (varies from team to team), decent work-life balance, subsidized lunch

Cons

The growth opportunities are relatively limited compared to other product-based companies, as a significant portion of the work involves migrations, given the nature of the banking industry

Pros

- better wlb than some competitors (jp Morgan and Goldman sachs) - Decent 401k match -full match up to 7% base pay but only contributed once a year

Cons

- Toxic environment - heavy preferences for employees from one ethnic background - Large amount of offshoring. Management wants to run the company on low expenses even if revenue decreased. They try to lay off staff and either retire the role, shift their work on current employees or off shore to India/Poland - 401k match is only given in January for the previous year - PTO is not paid out when leaving the company - Company & most teams expect more than standard work week. Many employees work until 6-7 regularly - Tracking in office attendance, and hours connected to network. HR fires anyone who doesn't meet their in office requirements after 2 strikes. - HR firing employees who don't connect to company network x number of hours, with no warning - Little diversity in many groups - Severely underpaid (20-40%) compared to other financial services companies - Expectation to be in office 4 days soon - Constant threat of layoffs and downsizing. Saw 4 senior employees get laid off - Forced rankings - Not many career advancement opportunities
