Pros

Good work-life balance. HR makes an honest effort to make the company a good place to work. The company has well established hierarchy and, in general, it is clear what is needed to move up, depending on the manager. Decent benefits.Most of the people you find there are good people and they are nice to work with and most people conduct themselves with good work ethic. There are a few people on the technical side whom you can learn a lot from.

Cons

Big silos, it seems each department has its own plan. There is a "us vs them" feeling between departments and there is lots of finger-pointing. among them. Some managers seem to be just trying to build their own little kingdom regardless of the overall needs in the company. Everything moves very slow. Top management feels very amateurish in their decisions.

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.
