Pros

Flexible work arrangement that used to offer 1 day a week but soon moving to 3 days in office per week. Moet people are friendly and offers standard benefit and generous 401k contribution by employer.

Cons

Demanding job requirements/high expectations and lots of overtime and turnover in the finance team. Easily working 60 hours a week and most associates are exempt which means not paid for overtime. Although overall seems to pay slightly above market for similar roles, when you look at OT worked, the actual hourly rate is not that great. No clear career trajectory and slow upward mobility and low titles.

Pros

Excellent benefits, competitive salary, and highly collaborative environment. Great people and a rich history of smart investors and service centers providing excellent customer service and financial returns. Beautiful campus in Irvine office.

Cons

Lack of solid technology solutions reduced the effectiveness of the developer community. Too many projects and not enough focus on unifying architecture. Newly implemented DE&I programs tied performance objectives to mandatory review of ideologically charged CRT material. Racial and gender quotas being tracked to direct hiring decisions.
