Toxic Environment and Lack of Culture

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

The company overall seems to be nice, good benefits, PTO is not bad since day 1, work/life balance is good.

Cons

The environment is extremely toxic. Senior Management openly endorses favoritism. The favorites get promotions and carte blanche to do whatever they want despite continuous complaints from other team members. Complaints in general fall on deaf ears and are used against the people who dare to speak up. Most Managers have no soft or leadership skills. Some employees are openly arrogant, rude and unprofessional, but Management turns a blind eye to any complaints. Being a team player, polite and courteous to your co-workers are not appreciated here. The Management in general is not interested in people's development or growth, or hearing what people have to offer. Anything you read about HR - is true! They are completely useless. They entice you with a high salary and promises of career growth/internal mobility but the reality is completely different. In the end, you have to choose between the money and keeping your sanity.

Pros

Probably pay rate. Perhaps education helps with pay ?! Perhaps..

Cons

Not enough Minorities seen in management. Internal applicants have a less chance for growth . Recruiter(s) not pushing your internal application to hiring managers . Certain people in upper management look down on lower end staff.. to see more minorities in Managerial or Officers positions. Unfortunately, it’s “ who you know

Not the place to be

Pros

Decent salary and benefits, good bonus. That is all.

Cons

There are several. If you have any career ambition, I don't recommend working at DTCC. - As other reviews have mentioned, there is a distinct lack of leadership and vision. Very few people could tell you what the goals are for the company moving forward. The problem is that DTCC has a monopoly on the market, so there is no incentive to innovate or do anything different than what they have been doing for years. Once competitors catch up, the company will be in for a rude awakening. - Things move at a glacial pace and there is too much beaurorcracy. It takes forever to get anything done because it has to be approved by so many different levels of management and committees. It is like a government agency at times. - No room for advancement at all. There is a large percentage of people who are just coasting by and clogging up management positions while younger talented employees are leaving for better companies. The company would rather retain these people than promote and pay younger, energetic people. - The company has been undergoing a cost cutting program they implemented about 2 years ago. They've laid off tons of people and started shifting a ton of employees to the Philippines. My department in the Jersey City office hadn't hired anyone new for a year and a half. -People don't work together across the organization. My department had to collaborate with others on certain projects and many individuals within the company just wouldn't cooperate. If it didn't affect them directly, they wouldn't care at all.
