Pros

Great team, manageable workload, nice office

Cons

Disgustingly large layoffs that impacted key members of teams who had deep instrumental knowledge of undocumented processes - they cleaned house and kept their corporate buddies employed that did not necessarily have the historical knowledge needed. It’s a very typical fake corporate positivity environment, where they preach about growth and fulfillment at work yet treat the Boston team horribly compared to SF and Utah. No opportunities for growth, deep structural and regulatory issues that were being swept under the rug, etc. Think it’s disgusting for them to have two major layoffs and not do anything to keep up morale and give proper benefits to those who were left to drown. Don’t acquire a bank if you’re going to ostracize and expel the capable people who built the piece of the company you were so eager to buy up.

Pros

My team of coworkers. Everything else that made me love my job and this company does not exist anymore.

Cons

Every perk, including my job was been taken from me (thanks AI. But, you said Penny wouldn’t take jobs, right?). Micromanage. No effort to know you as a person from management. The definition of “you are just a number.” The company cares way too much about profits and AI, and has completely lost sight of investing in their people. Current COO does not acknowledge stress behind job security with AI, when two departments have been dissolved in six months.
