Pros

DTCC offers a great work/life balance and a challenging - but - manageable workload. The key to success at DTCC is willingness to work hard and volunteer for stretch goals and duties. For me, I'm driven to do that. I don't need a lot of motivation. I have a great manager and great department leadership. Flexible working arrangements, good benefits and lots of CSR opportunities.

Cons

Some say that career advancement at DTCC is non-existent. I can see their point. But I think too many people just want a promotion handed to them without earning it. For me personally - I do feel my performance and contributions at DTCC warrant a promotion. But my manager - who I trust - is working with me to fill in the areas that need improvement to make me a stronger candidate for promotion. Will it happen? I don't know but if it does not happen it will not be for lack of me trying.

Pros

One of the nicest companies I've worked for. It's a complex business, so it takes smart people to run it. A lot of senior-level positions in Jersey City, so plenty of opportunities to interact. There's an expectation, recently reinforced by the CEO at a town hall meeting, that you return calls and reply to emails -- no matter what level. Small enough that you can get your ideas heard by the decision makers. Big enough that what you want to get done might actually happen. Pay and benefits and all that stuff is good. Medical plan comes with some extra programs, and they just added a legal benefit. Generous paid vacation and just added more time off for new parents and active military. There's a lot of community involvement at the different offices. Short-term volunteer activities but also working with local elementary and high schools and boys and girls clubs. The various employee networks also run a lot of events in the office -- guest speakers, chats with execs, film screenings, holiday mixers.

Cons

There's a bit of tension between long-term employees and new people coming in, but that's starting to shift. I've never felt unwelcome, but just met with some stubbornness about changes. There are also pockets of people from an acquired company that just can't let it go after several years.
