      Rotten to the core

      Pros

      It’s still a job for those of us lucky enough to have one.

      Cons

      I can’t sit by anymore. This company is full of the most self inflated, self promoting, tone deaf people in the entire universe. Shortly after laying off employees with high tenure who drove the culture, they promote senior executives. This alone would be enough to leave a sour taste in the mouths of the rest of us, but we didn’t stop there. Not only did they do it less than a week after the layoffs, they are promoting it all over social channels. Touting these executives who now have EVP titles. Soon this company will have more EVPs than Employees. The culture is rotten. The pressure is maddening. The two faced lies are adding up.

      Crossroads for HR — Opportunity for Real Change

      Avp human resources
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      A few talented, values-driven individuals remain—committed to doing good work despite the environment. Recent CHRO turnover suggests someone may finally be paying attention and recognizing the need for systemic change.

      Cons

      Practices HR promotes to the rest of the organization are not modeled internally—eroding trust and credibility. Removal of Sara Dadyar was necessary, but the underlying cultural issues persist. Those who’ve chosen to stay despite years of dysfunction are now in charge—often perpetuating the very issues that need fixing. HR leadership is disingenuous: outwardly polished and performative, while internal conversations are cynical, fear-based, and transactional. Toxic over-functioning is rewarded. Insecurity, control, and territorialism have become normalized—by the very people tasked with shaping a healthier leadership culture.

      Great place to work... until it's not.

      Svp, risk management

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      remote or hybrid work, decent compensation, some leadership that cares about people

      Cons

      Looking for yes men, actually yes women, that do not question leadership. The company is over-indexed toward cost reduction, DEI and advisor satisfaction over effective challenge, proactive risk management and compliance. All three lines of defense (operations, finance, compliance, procurement, risk, internal audit) report to the CFO. Where else in the industry does this happen?
