Pros

Intelligent people, great senior management, motivated people

Cons

terrible mid-management, botched review process, not a meritocracy. Mid-level managers are generally unqualified and not necessary for the operation.

What relevance will AB have in 5 years? Up to management to provide true though leadership and change the tide..

Assistant vice president - it

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It is easy to shine against a sea of incompetence. Pay is reasonable for IT on the Street.

Cons

A lack of leadership and a culture that promotes face time and brown nosing over actual productivity drains all true professionals at the firm. In IT, this is rampant, with management's failure to communicate. Middle management IT at the firm is incompetent and only care for their silo. AB has the talent to excel, but is strangled by ineffective senior management, a lack of cross group collaboration, an inability to share technology and resources across business lines. A new CEO aboard has begun to clear house, in the end, performance will dictate the future of this firm and its ability to remain relevant.

My first boss was the best boss I've ever had. My second was the worst.

Pros

I went for the money, but I never saw it.

Cons

I was promoted twice in two years, but never got a raise (even after it was promised). I was paid nearly $20K (yes, $20K) less than the person who did the job I was promoted to before I did it. They basically just did it to save money.
