Pros

So many hot dog and pizza parties! What's not to love? Employees at this rcompany just love their hot dog and pizza parties over a fair wage, career growth and a work/life balance.

Cons

-Zero work/life balance. Employees work long hours as a badge of honor. -Too many office cliques. If you're not in one, be afraid. -Poor management. -Inadequate compensation. -Your annual employee review is based upon how closely they feel that you align with the company's corporate values. Way too much Kool-Aid drinking going on here.

Toxic Work Environment, Narcissistic Executive

Pros

The EA team was super collaborative and fun to work with.

Cons

Many of the Execs at the company were straight up monsters. I worked for the Enterprise Risk Management team for a year and a half, and the Chief Risk Officer was a real life Cruella Deville. I should have known things would be bad when the EA who’d originally hired me, quit and left the company the week I started. Stephanie the CRO degraded not only myself, but most of the members of the team behind their backs. And had several meltdowns during my time at the bank. Another risk officer “outed” a member of the team behind their back, which I overheard and brought up to HR. There have been probably 7-10 EAs that have been churned out of the ERM team within 5-6 years due to mistreatment and the toxic environment, yet there aren’t ever any consequences for the executives who are the true cause of this attrition. Avoid at all costs!! Also, the bank will not be offering a flexible working schedule as of the fall of 2021. They’re way behind the times.

Pros

Growing company with money to do cool projects. Right downtown in the financial district. They will pay for conferences and training.

Cons

IT has no plan. IT Management chase business projects with no prioritization. By the time you start working on something the priorities change and the project is left, until the next reprioritization. Tools are bought, installed and abandoned. Promotions go to the suck-ups not the folks who deliver everyday.
