DTCC reviews

No or very little mobility between teams. Management is creating budgets that start in the red, so if the industry does not have an abnormally good year, RIFs will be necessary. Benefits are lagging, particularly health insurance. No sick days (they are rolled into your PTO), so people tend to go to work even when they are sick. Little chance to learn new technologies, if you are not in a group lucky enough to have something new. No 360 evaluations (we used to have those 5+ years ago), which means that your manager is never accountable to you. No or very little training (other than mandatory ones due to financial regulations) as a way of saving costs. Promotions, type of work, and raises depend much more on being part of a click of employees that came from another company than on actual ability.

Rule # 1, at DTCC, your skillset doesn't matter especially working for the IT / VDI team Rule # 2 , at DTCC, make sure you are able to join the elite group, pretty much close friends to management playing the role of architects and engineers during the day especially at the I/T VDI Dept Rule # 3, if you're a blonde you might get a pass, if not good luck Rule # 4, Ge ready to work with some worthless project managers especially the group from Florida Managers will lie to HR about you to get you fired if you're not liked, your hard work, skillset don't matter. The worst environment I've ever worked
