Pros

Great benefits, nice amenities, good work/life balance in the Investment Group, 2 bonuses. A calm work place.

Cons

Management here is generally really bad (across most departments). The company culture here used to be great but is declining rapidly. It used to be a joy to come to work, now it's a pain and many people are just collecting a paycheck. There has been an increase in an overall sense of dissatisfaction in the last few years. It's hard to move up unless you have been here for a really long time and are in good with Senior Management. There is not a lot of rhyme or reason around promotions here, lots of decisions are shrouded in secrecy. Additionally, managers are well aware of the bleak employment opportunities out there these days and have taken a "take it or leave it" attitude toward employee dissatisfaction. I would recommend working here to someone who needs a paycheck and is not concerned with sharpening skills or moving up. You can easily sail through a 20 year career here not putting forth much effort.

Pros

pays well, decent benefits, nice campus

Cons

no socializing, no talking, no laughing, no enjoyment. If you are the stereotype accountant - you will love this place. If you have an inkling of a personality - run!

Pros

Nice people, direct (as in, first or second level) management does seem to care about their team as individuals, knows how to balance DEI and merit. Cares about community.

Cons

I watched them let people go this past year for things that really didn't matter, especially when compared to some of the things they let people get away with on a regular basis. That, along with some of their other actions (like a push for using AI) tells me that they don't really value "long term" over the "short term". I've seen other companies be run into the ground before when they start making decisions like this.
