Big Enough to Keep Learning and Small Enough to See The Benefit of Your Actions
Pros
The suite of offerings is unmatched in any financial services firm. There are larger companies and those whose commercial brand may carry more weight but no one does what DTCC does. Good work-life balance, competitive compensation (salary + incentive opportunity + benefits), pay for performance culture, strong leadership (may vary by division and business), generally high-performing teams with strong collaboration and collegiality, good cross-site communication, attention given to offices outside of HQ by senior leadership, strong focus on training and professional development. The organization is committed to giving back to our communities and volunteerism, and most people genuinely care for one another. From top of the house we are encouraged and reminded to always do the right thing.
Cons
No organization is perfect and DTCC is no example to the rule. Things never seem to happen as quickly as you'd like, collegiality can result in conflict avoidance and that can hinder forward progress, some areas have ineffective managers who are allowed to exist while other areas are much less tolerant of ineffectiveness.
