Pros

None there were no pros...

Cons

Salary, Upper Management, Policies, Big Brother Approach, Lack of training on all the archaic systems, Lack of Communication, Poor Planning, No Bonus Plan, Inability to take a lunch or even go to the restroom without being micromanaged. Maybe the company should implement a hall pass policy so you can eat and go to the restroom in peace! This place was by far the worst place I have ever worked in my entire life!!!!!!! If you see an ad to hire, run for the hills...............You don't want to be sucked into this vortex. You're liable to suffer both physically and mentally if you stay too long. Toxic environment. - Micromanaged at all levels (Culture pushed by C-level execs) - All tasks are monitored at all levels - Managers are questioned regularly about their team member's value-add ("why do we even have this person?") - Unclear corporate direction - Employees forcibly silo'd into roles - Processes create dysfunctional environment - Pay is below average - Stress is extremely high across organization - Minimal communication - No cross-organizational synchronization - Cheap is better than good - Fast is better than good - Employees are personally blamed for failures of global process or unclear direction from execs - Dis-jointed groups that work against each other - Focus is on completing tasks, not improving company - Unethical management practices both internally and with business partners

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.
