Cons

-rigid policies and processes that heavily oriented around the needs of the France-based HQ, which create challenges and negative impacts for employees in other regions -fear-based operation among the North America leadership team - has cascaded down to their teams and created unnecessary pressure throughout the organization, and there's limited trust and confidence in senior leaders -constant and pervasive expectations that all matters are treated as urgent and frequency of fire‑drill situations - make it difficult to maintain a any work‑life balance -poor stock/LTI offerings and terrible user interface for bank LTI is managed by

Pros

Hybrid (2-3 days a week), provides a $15.00 stipend for lunch, stocked break room,

Cons

The job description was not what it really was, hardly any training, , Low Pay, Managers don't know how to manage. On a 1:1 my manager screamed obscenities at me for a misunderstanding and then she hung up on me so I resigned from the position. I did tell her manager and never heard back.
