Pros

Benefits, decent pay if you have a second income in the home, team oriented, plenty of resources available to do your job well

Cons

They will get the absolute most work out of you without having a discussing additional pay. Very hard to get promoted above senior coordinator level unless you know someone. It can become very competitive due to calibrations. Those who are top performers may not gain recognition if you don't mention every little thing you do to your manager in real-time.

Pros

- Does operate more as a tech company than a financial services organization. - Interesting challenges to work on. - Enjoyed working with my peers.

Cons

Performance management system is toxic. They use a stack ranking system where the lowest ~10% every year get let go. It creates an environment where co-workers are forced into a "me versus my peer" mentality when they should be collaborative. Whether you survive the cut or not often depends more on your managers ability to protect you than your actual performance. And even if you appear to be safe, it is still stressful as the process can take place at both the mid- and end-year. If you end up below the cut line, there are little to no options for you as you are also blocked from looking for something else in the company that may be a better fit.
