Pros

Initial pay was very attractive but they had to pay well to get top talent to come to the suburbs.

Cons

No raises year after year, which is not communicated to you in the interview process. No flexibility, no work from home opportunities. Processes and thinking very outdated and management is unwilling to change or even entertain that there may be a better way to do something to create efficiencies because they have been doing it the same way for the last 20 years. If you ask staff why they are doing something a certain way, their answer is “because we always have”...they don’t understand what they are doing. Discriminatory unless you look like them. Team building is discouraged, unfortunately upper management does not want to improve the very bad morale. Blatant unfair favoritism for employees that are related to the CEO and CFO. Certain director-level personnel lack the professional knowledge, wisdom & ability to lead...not technically sharp so micromanages silly things. Terrible management that does not know how to lead a team. Forward thinkers are discouraged because they might bring attention to others' incompetence. New ideas or suggestions are shot down instantly. Absolutely zero culture and very unwelcoming to new employees. It's like stepping back in time. Old technology. Outdated software. If you are looking for a progressive company where you will be encouraged to think and be developed, this is not the company for you. There are so many other great companies out there.

Pros

Salary was in market range.

Cons

Manager took zero interest in me. I spoke to her 2 times in the 6 months I was there. It’s just an endless grind to various SEC and investor required reporting. By the time you finish you need to start over. Almost all process are broken. This $13B company runs on excel. It’s a real risk that this company collapses on itself. They purchase companies and destroy everything good about their cultures. I was so happy and content until they purchased us. The executives paint a fake picture of their culture to the street.
