      Old slow company with old slow leadership

      Pros

      The compensation is very good Some great coworkers

      Cons

      This is the worst computer I have ever used for work. Everyone seems to be having tech problems Returning to the office is awful. We're a global company so the office is mostly people commuting into an office to do video calls. Many people don't have any in-person meetings. The office itself is loud and unpleasant. There are no amenities. Leadership does not seem to understand or care. The company is so large that when there are problems, people throw their hands up in the air and say, "I guess there's nothing we can do"

      Great people, frequently out of touch senior management

      Pros

      Client-focused organization that has a track record of hiring really great people. Plenty of opportunity to learn a ton. Prestigious brand that you can't help but feel proud to work for.

      Cons

      Comp is lower than peers and we lose a lot of top people as a result; the firm just doesn't keep your wages competitive with the market over time. If you're talented and in an investment role, you can generally double comp by leaving. Benefits range from extremely lean to non-existent. Very quick to pay people down in bad years, but no real upside in good years. Management is far more concerned with share price than employees. Headcount has bloated in unnecessary areas in last three years. Culture has diminished in recent years and a lot of the fun is gone.

      Profoundly Mediocre

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pretty good work/life balance - longer sprint cycles mean it's not hard to deliver on requirements.

      Cons

      They are not a tech firm. It's the technology arm of a slow-moving, bureaucratic finance firm. Not embracing WFH - very strong years with whole staff WFH, but now are pushing for 3 days and eventually full week back in office. Lots of my team is leaving because of it.
