Don't waste your career with DTCC if you are in mid-career phase
Pros
Flexible work arrangements (not for work-life balance, to coordinate with US people) - can be considered as con really. Can work from home when necessary (if the manager likes you) To be honest it's tough to come up with list of pro
Cons
(US) Management not in touch with employees directly and not aware of managers who misuse their power. Work-Life balance is worst in few depts; Work hours exceeds 12 hours everyday. Few worst managers make the work place hell. Beware! They does no work, but they turn down co-managers good idea's simply to pull their legs down. They lie, manipulate or engage in nasty politics. Please beware and move to different area/manager before (its too late) you became victim of disgusting game. Consultants & Employees staying longer form network to get rid of new talented people if you are qualified than them. Few support staffs are irresponsible and treat employees poorly, since they report to someone else in US (not local) and being there from the beginning. Have to wait too long for promotions, while devious people gets promoted easily. Yes boss type people can enjoy here, the most creative people can't survive. HR dump you with the lowest salary if you don't negotiate well.
