Supportive team and work-life balance, but issues with diversity and HR

Pros

Pension, wlb, good team and smart people to work with.

Cons

Lack of diversity, they are quick to fire people color over technicalities. Lack of respect for women in middle management. HR is disconnected and not knowledgeable. HR will fire you over a poorly implemented process then change the process. Promotion is difficult, someone has to leave in order to open a spot. They do not care about you.

Pros

Strong engineering culture with exposure to large-scale financial systems, distributed architecture, and production-critical platforms. Good opportunities to learn modern cloud, performance, and reliability engineering.

Cons

Bureaucracy and internal politics can sometimes outweigh technical merit. Employees who take ownership or challenge inefficiencies may face delayed recognition, unclear growth paths, and shifting expectations, leading to frustration and disengagement over time.
