Boring work, Shady company

Pros

- base pay is good - potential for some down time during the work day - not typically micromanaged (unless you have that kind of team) - remote work

Cons

- Fragmented management style. Some managers tell you one thing and others tell you something different. Zero alignment in management style. - Company values are non existent in day to day work. They don’t stand for anything meaningful. - The work is mundane. You’ll be writing memos, booking JEs, and preparing reconciliations on repeat. Not the “challenging and exciting work” that is promised during the interview process - Lack of internal infrastructure. They employ over 1k people, but have a handful of people working internally. If you ever have issues with something, good luck being heard. - Health benefits are ridiculously expensive. Like worst I have ever seen. - Paternity leave = 2 weeks - 401k match is bad and doesn’t start for a year after you join - The people. Everyone is just looking out for #1 and they don’t really care about being a good leader or helping you grow. - The culture. All the bad of B4 culture with none of the good. You are just a number/metric.

Pros

If you have no intention of receiving respect, understanding, or upward mobility as a person of color, this is a company for you.

Cons

The human resources department does not heed alarms of prejudice, retaliation, or harassment. Your best odds of success at this company are to keep your mouth shut about unethical practices and personal discrimination. If you are a person of color, or anyone willing to speak up for themselves, please do not invest your time or talent in a company that will not invest in you. And if that is not enough of a deterrent, the benefits and holidays are dismal.
