Pros

It is easy to shine against a sea of incompetence. Pay is reasonable for IT on the Street.

Cons

A lack of leadership and a culture that promotes face time and brown nosing over actual productivity drains all true professionals at the firm. In IT, this is rampant, with management's failure to communicate. Middle management IT at the firm is incompetent and only care for their silo. AB has the talent to excel, but is strangled by ineffective senior management, a lack of cross group collaboration, an inability to share technology and resources across business lines. A new CEO aboard has begun to clear house, in the end, performance will dictate the future of this firm and its ability to remain relevant.

AB is a solid mid-sized company with a really good work-life balance. The culture is friendly and supportive.
