Pros

Being a part of a company with a big name in the industry. Office closes early before traffic and your schedule is flexible. Good for a person with kids.

Cons

Financial Advisors are abusive verbally and inappropriate. They make errors often, and their assistants take the blame. If you want to complain to management about your experiences, they will say this is the industry, so you stay silent, because you realize the Financial Advisors make the money and assistants are expendable. Old Boys mentality, not a good place for a woman to get ahead, if you're a male, you'll do better.

Pros

Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

Cons

They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
