Pros

You learn a lot in a short amount of time

Cons

The reason you learn so much and are stretched is due to the understaffed environment. They expect associates to be managers and lead projects, while managers sit back and just review tasks. 9 people quit in the span of 6 months - and only 4 contractors (not even fulltime employees) were picked up to assist with the additional work. What's even worse is the managers and directors got promoted - even though they are creating the toxic environment which is causing the high turnover. They also are quick to promise multiple things such as - its easy to switch to other teams, or this project will help you get promoted etc. Also the pay is extremely low for a DC financial based company which is really surprising

Pros

Benefits and pay are decent Early release on Friday Technology used provides marketable skills

Cons

Lacking innovation and overly bureaucratic, tedious & cumbersome processes Senior Leadership is absent and middle management forced to play politics Conservatorship is limiting any chance to be an independent public company that can develop new products CEO is basically a spokesman and the President is actually running the company, but not very well. Reduced 401K match by 2% and no cost of living pay adjustment for the last 2 years Mass exodus of the most talented/ marketable employees, leaving behind the mediocre politically connected employees
