Pros

barely can think of any, except that you may find some people there

Cons

as many people have said in their reviews: toxic management | archaic tech -- very low pay -- very toxic culture --awful c-level managers (Uneducated and unqualified management) let me just repeat some of the review from other folks which I do agree with: 1- High-level managers are allowed to be completely remote; everyone else is required to be in office 3 days/week 2- Management at a director level and above (with a very few exceptions) don't have a clue how to build software. Managers are busy playing political games to survive and not to get fired. Architects are busy generating visions not aligned with reality. Engineers are busy maintaining old mess. So everyone is busy producing nothing. 3- Uneducated and unqualified {...} management. Puts people without degrees in roles that need them, where other companies require them. - Refuses to adapt to Industry standards and best practices. - Acts like a bank, not a software company. 4-Toxic management, especially senior level. 5- Nothing ever seems to improve and things only get worse. 6- This place was by far the worst place I have ever worked in my entire life! || Micromanaged at all levels 7- if you enjoy working for narcissistic micro managers, go for it! 8- This place can be classified as a chaotic hell, and the VP's love the smell of fear and rotting employee corpses. All the negative things that you read on the forums, internet, and on Glassdoor are true.

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.
