      Conservative & Stunted

      Pros

      The company has a robust reputation in the industry. Impressive name on your resume if you want to work in derivatives. Good compensation and benefits with a reasonable workload.

      Cons

      Little to no thought diversity at any level of management. Diversity initiatives are performative and mostly include hiring interns and junior employee POC. Self expression via colorful fashion, piercings, tattoos, dyed hair is siliently discouraged. This is a very conservative company, if you don’t appear to be conservative or completely devoid of opinions, you will not succeed here no matter how smart and capable you are. Managers are not supportive of employees’ involvement in employee resource groups, especially those that touch on social issues like climate change, LGBTQIA issues, and disabilities. Higher ups also silently discourage asking questions, especially in larger meetings. The message they spread about valuing their employees thoughts and opinions is empty rhetoric.

      Pros

      Great if you know how to play the game. WFH policies are great. Benefits too. Nice office.

      Cons

      Expect to kowtow to product line managers and be made to apologize. Don’t expect a promotion unless your boss gets fired.
