Pros

I got to keep my job when Silicon Valley Bank went under.

Cons

Most of my experience with this company has been a con. They have continued to remove benefits and find a way to pay us less. I haven't had a cost of living raise in years and essentially I'm working at a 25% pay cut. The leadership is terrible and will promote based on sucking up rather than merit. If you ask questions, you will be treated poorly. If you provide a different way of doing things, you will be treated poorly. I have been asked to manipulate and interpret data intentionally wrong to make certain groups look good, which I refused. Shocker, but I've been treated worse since then.

Pros

Solid pay, comp structure Many good co-workers/partners Some flexibility in your day-to day

Cons

Nonstop Work Little to none support/training Mediocre at best management Numbers, numbers, and numbers is all they care about Headed down the path of Chase, Wells, BofA in a bad way of growing but looking at numbers nonstop and profits so they don’t care about employees or customers.
