Good work/life balance and management
Pros
DTCC offers a great work/life balance and a challenging - but - manageable workload. The key to success at DTCC is willingness to work hard and volunteer for stretch goals and duties. For me, I'm driven to do that. I don't need a lot of motivation. I have a great manager and great department leadership. Flexible working arrangements, good benefits and lots of CSR opportunities.
Cons
Some say that career advancement at DTCC is non-existent. I can see their point. But I think too many people just want a promotion handed to them without earning it. For me personally - I do feel my performance and contributions at DTCC warrant a promotion. But my manager - who I trust - is working with me to fill in the areas that need improvement to make me a stronger candidate for promotion. Will it happen? I don't know but if it does not happen it will not be for lack of me trying.
