Pros

GREAT benefits (competitive retirement, stock grants, student loan payments, adoption reimbursement, so much more). Some hybrid work depending on the department you’re in. Can be more agile and forward thinking than older institutions

Cons

Depending on the department, your experience could vary widely. It could be wonderful or terrible. I was incredibly disappointed to find that HR had some of the worst working conditions of any department, even when holding all other departments to a higher standard. The company’s business lines have been changing rapidly over the last couple years, which bas brought lots of instability and reorganization. The future direction does not seem clear.

Pros

You get a bi-weekly paycheck.

Cons

The culture has tanked under new leadership over the last couple of years. It’s cutthroat, senior management keeps swapping out experienced leaders for their own people, same values, same bottom line only mindset. No one actually knows what they’re doing because everyone’s expected to do everything and own the fallout when it doesn’t work. Decisions get micromanaged or made behind closed doors about your own team, with no input. There’s constant pressure to cut expenses, and the target seems to double every month, at this rate it feels like the end is inevitable. Layoffs happen a few times a year now, two years running, and leadership straight up tells you it’s the new norm, so get used to it. Everyone knows it, everyone talks about it, and everyone’s living in fear. On top of that, you’re expected to work 12 hour days and answer emails on weekends, then get told you’re still not doing enough. It’s demoralizing. This is an awful place to work, and with the job market this bad, people can’t leave even though everyone’s looking. Feels like a sinking ship, and they deserve it for how they treat people.
