Pros

Nothing positive to say about the company

Cons

Too many MDs in technology without enough to do. Turf wars galore and rank and file get caught in the crossfire. IT architecture senior management desperately papering over lack of strategy and provide as much leadership as a brass doorknob. Senior IT leadership is incented by looking good before the CIO who is either blissfully oblivious of the state of the organization or has drunk too much of the Kool aid being brewed by her leadership team. Governance and Process is used as an excuse to explain lack of meaningful forward progress. The company has suffered much during the great resignation to a point where technology strategy leadership teams are largely decimated and incapable of making a move without consulting 3rd rate consulting firms. Don't think of joining - and yes I'm looking to leave.

Pros

Some great people at the mid-lower ranks and compensation was ok.

Cons

Legacy technology, gray hair leadership with old school mentality. 'Front office' people are treated as a higher class than those in support functions. Relatively small company with fewer opportunities for progression at the mid-senior levels. Those in the industry who know DTCC will ask 'isn't that where people go to retire?'.

Pros

Mobility is good, but it depends on your manager - some will purposefully sabotage your career if you try to leave the team to find your self a better role/opportunity within the company.

Cons

Management will not be responsible until some issue occurs, and then immediately micro manage and blame the people at lowest level. I was blamed for a defect which was not discovered few months prior to me joining the company... As if I could've found the bug before I joined the company. Incredibly irresponsible, and unappreciative management. Worst place to start your career at. The annual employment survey gave my management 70/100 score, and my director held a meeting to basically scare the team that they should give better rating to their managers... A team member cried because manager scolded for 5 minutes and then immaturely hung up the phone without providing any actual feedback or suggestions - HR didn't care about it either.
