Pros

The HR department is one of the best that I have ever had the opportunity to work with. They work hard to take care of the employees and seem to be in touch with what is really going on. The company management is great with lots of vision to take the company to new places and the execution mindset to get it done. The Technology department, while understaffed, is helpful and willing to do what's needed to get the job done. The Security team is also one of the best that I have ever had the opportunity to work with. They are professional, business minded, and are always able to help other departments reach their goals in a secure manner. The company in general is very security engaged and is proactive about protecting employees, data, and intellectual property. The company also has what seems to be a zero tolerance for security related violations. A good number of employees have been fired after violating security policy and procedure. Mis-step once, and you will be stepping out of the door with your things in a box. This is a pro considering what this company has to protect. If you cannot deal with a high security environment this is not the company for you. There is lots of opportunity to grow with in the company and it seems that a vast majority of the employees have been on staff for 5 or more years. Early Warning also does a great job trimming the excess when it comes to employees who are not willing to commit to goals and who are a hinderance to the overall health of the company and environment. No slackers here... The culture is laid back enough that employees are able to engage each other in a social environment yet maintain professional mannerisms. The work is fun and challenging with the rewarding factor of knowing you are helping to fight financial fraud in the financial industry.

Cons

These may be cons for some and pros for others: Work is extremely fast paced and non-stop demanding. If you want to sit back and cruise through a career this is not the place for you. Those who took this path were not happy and are no longer with the company.

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.
