Pros

-Hires great people from outside ex McKinsey etc. (and then fired them) -good benefits

Cons

-Culture is horrible. Pretend like they care about people but it does not come across in action. Managers who get pathetic scores in associate survey are still around versus manager who get high scores do not get any credit -Performance management is joke. People who get highest award from CEO are fired next month, similarly people who got promoted and have great ratings suddenly get fired. Company does not look into history of performance -Hire great talent and ask them to do weird stuff -Most managers dont have people skills, they joined as analyst and grew into management, never saw outside world so never acquired real people skills

Pros

Most advance tech stack. Cutting edge research

Cons

Performance management and feedback based system drives politics. Senior management usually works towards saving their own a** especially in legacy orgs

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
