Pros

Decent pay and bonus. Some really good managers. Unlimited access to online learning. Company will reimburse certifications. 6% 401k match. Great place to get skills to find a good job.

Cons

Doesn't trust or value employees, was once told they had to hire outside staff because 'no current employee was smart enough'. RTO implemented knowing full well good employees would leave, no effort made to retain. Yearly survey is a joke, been on the survey committee and given specific instructions on things NOT to address. No RTO exceptions were given for employees with health or family issues showing how little they care. ' Unlimited PTO' is a benefit only to the company, it lowers company costs, no payout when leaving or if PTO denied. No seniority based benefits, length of employment irrelevant. Retirement packages only for upper level staff. Remote workers forbidden from moving 'without permission' to a limited number of locations regardless of seniority, skills, or length of time working remotely because HR is too lazy or incompetent to spend 2 hours setting up another state even if no income tax. Raises are limited unless getting promotion and capped unless someone wants to be in management. And the worst ... every couple of years, there is a management shift and the tooling/org shuffle begins anew. Yet nothing really changes and the same underlying problems continue to plague, employees forced to learn new tools every few years on their own with minimal direction and never getting adequate experience, old tools take years to go away with dwindling support. Unless there is some security issue then it's all hands on deck. Talented staff continue to support legacy systems without adequate resources because only the two 'star' products get resources.

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.
