Pros

All in all a good company to work for. Work?Life balance is good and they have done a good job of dealing with Covid19 work from home roles.

Cons

Not quite the same company after the Morgan Stanley acquisition. It feels like Management sold out to take the big pay day. Company was very profitable as is and they continue to have highest ever number of trades, new account opening and asset inflows. All of these drive revenue. Company culture has suffered dramatically

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!
