Pros

Good Health benefits from the ptsd you’ll get working here. Unlimited pto but you’ll work on your pto. Remote so they can overwork you.

Cons

Worst work life balance I’ve experienced. Only Engineering gets catered to but other roles like Ops, Risk, Legal, Compliance, and Audit, are overworked and burnt out. Favoritism is rampant, and demographic quota hires sometimes result in uneven workloads. Performance ratings can be biased; if a manager doesn’t like you or you won’t do the work of two people, you’re at risk. Toxic culture with knowledge gatekeeping, poor leadership with bad attitudes, and too much politics. If you’re from traditional financial services industry, expect to lose industry standards, since mgmt just make things up. HR never tells you that your so called annual bonus gets paid out in 16 quarters?! Ridiculous. Why would someone stay another 16 quarters to get paid for the previous annual bonus. Mind games.

Pros

Remote workforce, good pay and benefits.

Cons

Leadership live in a bubble and very toxic. They have no long terms strategies and constantly changing direction. No empathy and layoffs are constant. Culture is toxic and has employees working against one another. Revolving door - Subconscious bais at the top levels and very limited diversity. Hispanic Black and Eastern Asian not represented at top levels. Hunger games environment where leadership live in the capital and work the sectors long hours without any appreciation.
