Pros

I have worked for this company for over 5 years and I have see quite a bit. Nothing ever seems to improve and things only get worse. The only pro is the opportunities of the company. So many within a sea of incompetent management.

Cons

It all starts with the poor management team. A group of incompetent middle managers given positions of authority beyond their areas of expertise and abilities. They also engage in the most destructive political games that we have ever seen as some sort of defense mechanism. This was extremely apparent at a recent leadership meeting. We were all hopeful when the new CEO started but he seems to be unable to make the changes that are needed. Instead they bring in a group of consultants to tell us what we already know and then proceeds to focus terminations a layer or two down. Most of us who understand this and will be looking for new jobs and will likely jump at the next opportunity.

Pros

Really solid company. Good high level leadership and the best culture ive seen. Runs like a start up so lots of opportunity for impact. Growth is everywhere and theyre supportive of continuing ed. Culture varies by LOB. I work in Paze and cannot speak to Zelle or Certos.

Cons

This is silly but I cannot stand the work laptops. Small little windows machines.

Pros

Friendly coworkers, interesting problem space if you like finance and big data. In-office requirements but many show up after 10 or leave before 3.

Cons

Around the time of my exit, two people in leadership were fired. In my professional career I've never witnessed a firing that felt more like a humiliation ritual. They were paraded around the office and through all-hands meetings to aid transition (presumably for a new VP installing their replacement of choice), with my direct leads acting incredibly two-faced. Wishing condolences to the faces of the newly departed, but celebrating behind closed doors. Really gross. This behavior would at least make sense if it were in service of a good technical vision, but in my ten years of experience I have truly never seen worse development standards. Rampant ego and inertia. Getting engineers to even use Git is like pulling teeth. Want to install Python 3.10.x instead of Python 3.11.x? Have fun waiting 2 months for approval. And the communication from the executive level is nausea-inducing. Rarely we hear anything that strikes at the core of these issues. Rather it is vapid platitude after platitude. And insistence on the adoption of core values that feel like a Temu version of Amazon LPs.
