Pros

Generous PTO and aligned with bank holidays! Flexible work schedule and competitive comp package.

Cons

Corporate resource groups seem to be stuck on a hamster wheel. Joining the org felt like I went back in time 20 years. They are slow to move and break free from status quo. Operations is paper heavy and heavy on staff. No electronic trading and broker assisted trades will cost you around $75 a pop. IT leadership is politically motivated, slow to move, lack leadership skills and don't work well as a team. Have over 30 managers for a staff of 120 to support a 2400 users....a lot if overhead! Spend a lot of time effort and money to make the Forbes best places to work list....makes you wonder how much gets paid out to be on the list.
