Pros

Great benefits package and off-site cooperate training opportunities

Cons

Communication from management is minimal at best, the delegation and follow-through of projects lack focus and organization. Complaints and obvious problems are ignored creating low morale and the loss of good employees to other groups or new companies. The company comes up short with minority employee numbers, while the mass majority remains of the Caucasian race. As an Asian/Indian the discrimination has been shown through being passed over for promotions and positions to less experienced and educated colleagues... It is an obvious perception at my workplace that the Indian in the room is really smart, is a very hard worker - BUT, is probably a better sort of technical or behind-the-scenes thinker and not leader. When approaching management of these issues, the fact that I have an accent is given as their reasoning...because, obviously having an accent would effect my social skills or elevated technical skills developed through past experience and a Masters Degree earned at a highly esteemed American University!?!?!?

Pros

Compared to other companies… Exec leadership is good at change management communications. They make it obvious what they’re planning to do next as external pressures increase. Everyone has access to copilot There are a ton of benefits (but they’re confusing and disorganized). Parking rebate, education reimbursement program,

Cons

The worst tech organization I’ve ever worked with. Technology is extremely outdated and the people aren’t helpful. They’ll close your ticket without ever contacting you and you’re left spending hours going in circles. This makes their onboarding VERY difficult for new employees who can’t find anything. Customer service roles are very very unhelpful. For example- credit card group sent the job aid in response to a question, I shared with them the exact areas where the job aid links were broken and incomplete and got no response. Compensation was lower than the market by a significant margin.

Thank you for your positive comments regarding communication, AI access, and benefits. We recognize that reliable technology and responsive tech support are both critical to a positive employee experience —especially during onboarding. It’s concerning to hear that you encountered difficulty getting assistance and unresolved tickets. That’s not the experience we aim to provide, and your feedback highlights areas where we clearly need to improve.
