      Great work-life balance & pay, but has shortcomings of being a big company

      Pros

      Fantastic work-life balance, at least in the Chicago office. Being a bank you get off extra holidays than many places, so it's like having a little extra PTO around.

      Cons

      Lots of bureaucracy since it's such a large corporation. You're also working for a credit card company that makes money off of people who are in debt to them, so whatever your feelings are towards that it should play a role in your decision.

      TDP: Good Benefits, Terrible Management

      Associate software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Good benefits, essentially unlimited time off because nobody records it - TDP program hosts fun events like bars - Pay is good for someone right out of college - 401k contributions are top notch - Disability temporary leave is 100%

      Cons

      - TDP Program largely unavailable to help with people struggling in a role - Terrible Managers that cause high turnover tend to have 'tenure' - TDP Program creates a lot of restrictions on roles and can often have someone trapped in roles that may not be good for them - The management structure is often not stable and changing often - TDP Program is a total gamble between being miserable and having a great time - The work is oftentimes boring

      Pros

      Amazing work culture. Lots of good treatment. I got 4 friends in. 6 more are currently interviewing. You get a promotion like every two years for the first 6-7 years. every promotion your sal increases by 25% Ofc you gotta put in the work...but if you do you'll be making uber level comp in no time. Heres the ladder. Associate swe. senior assoc. principal assoc. master. lead. distinguished. fellow. Usually getting to master takes like 8-10 years but I've met people who did it in 5. Again you get in how much you outwork. also, I feel c1 pays well for the work you do. its good work-life balance. as to how I got this info...I interned there over the summer and set up lunches at all levels across all lines of biz...assoc-distinguished for swe...assoc-svp for product. we got to meet the CEO too. his legit. liked his keynote. overall valid exp. Just doesn't have the recognition like FANG but you get the same FANG exp if not better because they are trying hard to impress. Oh, and there on a hiring frenzy rn...hope this helps. Apply early! Like august

      Cons

      Small governance. But they listen to people across all levels.
