Pros

Work-life balance can be ok

Cons

Leadership has created a culture that is hostile to employees You will be working around mediocrity, because management gave up on caring about the workforce. Trust me, they truly do not care. There is a lack of culture and comradery - pretty much a soulless place Constant fear of layoffs

Pros

The quality of colleagues is extremely high and everyone will try their most to help you

Cons

There are definitely operational issues as there is a need to improve systems and processes. Constant turnover has brought some issues. Part of this is a result of lower than average wages for very senior positions

Pros

Well known reputation in the custody space. New office space is quite nice!

Cons

Management is truly awful. They devote so much effort to making sure everyone in the organization understands how important they are and zero invested effort in building their team with any opportunity for innovation and providing knowledge transfer. Projects were dreadfully boring! People were lazy and completely unwilling to help out, answer questions, or take on any new work. HR is terrible!
