Pros

There are some wonderful people that work there.

Cons

The Information Risk department has a lot of leadership issues, though there are a few directors who are great. Unfortunately, poor management and a lack of accountability have created a toxic work environment. One employee in particular has caused problems with multiple team members—five in less than a year—and nothing has been done about it, which has made things stressful for everyone involved. A particular manager stood out as especially ineffective. He didn’t know how to lead, made multiple mistakes, and failed to provide any real support to the team. He’s not suited for a leadership role and should never have been a manager in the first place. Management only seems to care about their bottom line, with employees treated as nothing more than numbers. Communication across the team is messy, and there’s not much transparency or collaboration. If you bring up concerns about mental health or workplace issues, don’t expect much support—HR and management tend to ignore these complaints, and there’s often backlash for speaking up. On top of that, layoffs happen regularly, the benefits are pretty bad, and the pay is below market. If you’re considering joining, I’d think twice unless major changes are made to leadership and how they handle employees. And considering the CEO, I wouldn’t expect major changes until he’s gone and someone new comes in and cleans house.

Pros

Some talented engineers and team members who try to do the right thing despite constant organizational friction.

Cons

The technology organization suffers from a lack of strong engineering leadership and accountability. Managers often avoid making firm technical or project decisions, which leads to shifting priorities and unclear direction. When initiatives struggle, responsibility is frequently pushed downward onto engineers rather than addressed at the leadership level. There has also been noticeable turnover across engineering teams while leadership continues pushing a model where only a small number of onshore “lead engineers” remain while much of the development work moves offshore. In practice this creates bottlenecks where engineers complete work during normal hours but cannot move code forward until offshore teams review and approve pull requests. Leadership has also introduced initiatives without realistic planning. When internal AI tooling was introduced, expectations around productivity were abruptly changed (for example, reducing story point estimates under the assumption AI would accelerate development). At the same time, engineering resources were directed toward building an internal AI assistant that largely functions as a wrapper around existing models while higher-priority platform work remains under-resourced. Culturally, the environment can feel dismissive toward engineers. Turnover remains high, concerns raised by teams are rarely addressed, and negative feedback about the organization has been consistent for years without meaningful change from upper management.
