Pros

Very reasonable and generous attitude towards WFH, family matters, taking time off, etc.

Cons

Expect to be compensated well below market rate. The company is still trying to figure out what it wants to be when it grows up. The very senior leadership is brilliant. The individual contributors that I work with are mostly quite good in what they do, and the attitudes towards getting things done. In middle management there seems to be a significant degree of being disconnected from either the top or the bottom. Entire pieces of the technology innfrastructure are missing and nobody knows or cares. Priorities change on a daily basis based on what is the chase of the week. Very hard to get a lot of momentum towards making things better when the people you need to collaborate with have no intention of meeting what you think is a common goal - the managers that need to understand this just don't seem to have the understanding. Escalating issues like these falls on deaf ears. Also, I am truly all for diversity, inclusion, and making anyone and everyone feel welcome where they work - but you get communication about it at a distracting, over the top way - like they are trying too hard.

Pros

- The people are generally very kind and collaborative broadly. - I believe the company is genuine in its mission to only earn profits by helping everyday Americans move forward on the path to a better financial future. - The company at large and some of its leaders aren't afraid to try things and then pivot if they don't work to try something else, instead of doubling down over pride or ego or stubbornness.

Cons

- There's a lack of clear and strategic leadership that leaves job ambiguity, which places the employee at a disadvantage with performance measurement, which is how they award quarterly bonuses. Without clear SMART goals, it becomes a game of bring me a rock, but not that rock. - Towards the end, they were implementing a start-up entrepreneurial mindset style that was leaning away from valuing work/life balance and getting more demanding and desperate in attempts to meet metrics.
