Northern Trust reviews

too much talk (bs) and not enough actions and commtiment. Lack of dynamic leadership who can truly walk the talk and be a good role model to the employees. Despite being finanically sound and strong, there is always budget cuts across the board which comprise on the quality of the resources. The amount of audit and compliance checks that NT conducts is good enough to stifle all the creativity and innovative thinking. Resources such as headcount across the globe are unevenly distributed, more jobs are moving to India where the work standard are way below standard. In other regions, where there is a genuine need to hire, the headcount is not being granted. So where is the work life balance? Merit and bonus plan are below market practice.

Paternalistic environment creates complacency in the workforce and minimizes compensation for individuals focused on upward mobility. There are also a lot of well healed employees sprinkled throughout due to client relationships and some employees don't always work out.
