Pros

Flexible work arrangements and good overall benefits. Great co-workers. Wide range of career opportunities.

Cons

Senior management preaches about advantages of being a Mutual company and being able to take a long term perspective and not chasing quarterly returns. Long term is apparently one year of reduced earnings and then it's time to eliminate people regardless of performance, responsibilities, tenure, or contributions to expense efficiencies.

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
