Pros

Many opportunities to work on exciting and challenging projects that bring cutting edge technology and innovative ideas to Schwab employees and clients. The technology folks are some of the brightest and skilled in their field.

Cons

Its a sweat shop - always has been and always will be. Senior leaders are expected to reduce operating costs every year which basically means keeping the headcount as low as possible. You'll find most people are overloaded with work and make personal sacrifices.

Pros

Ok for work life balance.

Cons

Very low compensation. They want talent but not willing to pay for it. Have done away with some employee friendly programs over the last few years, seemingly to cut costs. Also get the feel they want to control (micro manage) their employees. Very old school management mentality / atmosphere. Little wonder on the employee turnover.
