Pros

Flexible work from home policy, can wear jeans every day, good insurance benefits (health, vision, dental, 401k matching, optional life and supplemental accident and critical illness policies). Have choice of High-deductible plan or a PPO. Good salaries and generous PTO time and bonuses to even new hires.

Cons

Senior management has created too many strategic programs and is trying to implement all changes too quickly. Staff needs and has requested more guidance and direction but it is too slow in coming. In spite of working harder, and more efficiently, potential for promotions is limited and is very much based on team size and its management. Millennials have best chance of getting ‘fast tracked’ and promoted over people with better work ethics, loyalty and experience. Frequent layoffs (twice a year). Too much focus on pro-diversification vs. goal-achievements regardless of race or LGBT statuses.

Pros

Having worked at DTCC for 8 years here are my truthful reviews. . Work life balance more than needed . Average Medical benefits . Good pension + 401K .You will have even more work life balance if you are under a right manager. .Process oriented company.

Cons

. Not much technology company. .Most Middle managers are non technical and will make sure they stick to their seat no matter what. . Everyone is talking about Agile with out actual implementations. . Some teams exists without any reason. . Unnecessary expansion for such small technical needs. Build vertical departments for providing a solution. This was a the strangest thing i noticed for last 4 years. . Upper management enjoys good pay and benefits. Lacks skills. They seem to be settling down all the time. . Project implementations can be far improved by hiring right candidates. Lack of skills in the major implementations. . Accountability.

Pros

The only benefit is the compensation

Cons

Core strength of the company is vanishing quickly across the organization. The only way to progress within the company seems to be based on "who you know " and not merit. Employees feel suffocated. Top heavy management is clueless to the nuts and bolts of the services provided. Some are overworked while most thrive on talk and politics.
