Pros
The people are overall more relaxed than other financial professionals. Company has a higher than average pay and PTO policy.
Cons
Some people tend to think of themselves as high and mighty because they work in finance. Company lacks diversity, especially in certain areas. Work/life balance is horrendous and has only gotten worse. Company lies about amount of layoffs they’re going to have by calling them ‘budget cuts’. Only about 4000 employees so mobility is difficult, and overrelies on agencies to do most heavy-lifting. Many employees have been doing the same thing for over 5+ years and would be satisfied doing it for another 5. Meetings are rampant. The longer tenured employees tend to do things different in a more manual and time consuming way while newer more tech savvy employees have to beg for adherence to adoption of newer technologies in all parts of the firm. Creates a mismatch of processes/functions where some people do things digitally and on cloud technologies while some rely on 5 year old excel sheets.
