Pros

Decent work life balance Management understanding when you need time off Great benefits Depending on which group you work for, people are on average very respectful

Cons

Management communication not very transparent Some of the new people that have joined since the banking crisis are incompetent and unprofessional Culture has changed from an open, friendly and mobile type of environment to a more investment banking type of culture Offshoring of certain departments have led to inefficiencies and time consuming processes Constant restructuring of company Bureaucracy

Pros

The people you work with are amazing. The benefits are wonderful. I appreciate the bonus structure and the growth I've experienced with the organization.

Cons

Leadership's strategy and vision are severely lacking and self-serving. There's a lot of favoritism with the same people being included in decision-making without consideration for their ability to actually deliver results. In turn, the lower-level employees are left to clean up the disaster. I see that Swiss is on here making comments on employee reviews - hopefully they take note of how many people in the last 90 days said the same thing about the leadership strategy. We're not on glassdoor because we like reviewing our company - we're here looking for outside opportunities because of the way the company is currently operating. We're bleeding good talent because they no longer align with the corporate strategy.
