Pros

All of my bosses have been good about flexible schedules in regards unexpected events or family emergencies. Work life balance is very manageable. Yes there are bad days where you need to put in 10+ hours but there are also the days where you leave early because it is slow. Moving up isn't that hard if you are smart and work hard. There is a lot of legacy thinking at the firm that makes it easy to shine.

Cons

Salary has nothing to do with your talent or value you bring to the firm. Some areas are loaded with AVPs and VPs who all get 100K plus for doing nothing while there are others who are actually running the ship get peanuts. Get in with the right areas and it is a cake walk with little to no responsibility. Very little tuition assistance (3K per year). To compare, Commonwealth and US bank do 5K each.

Pros

Lots of room for growth and development. Work is challenging and exciting especially if you like finance. Co-workers are great, helpful, and make the environment more enjoyable.

Cons

No room for full-time employment. Some opportunities are not offered to contract which is understandable but still sucks.

Pros

Great pay and getting OT pay. Awesome team of SMs and RTEs who felt like family and we all wanted to see each other succeed. I was exposed so a lot of situations which strengthened my skill set. Learned the SAFe model and it looks great on resumes. I personally had a great boss, bosses boss, and RTEs.

Cons

Executive leadership is ruining the culture. Many of the amazing Directors, AVPs and RTEs left due to the poor Executive leadership who do NOT know a single thing about Agile principles. Releases are 1x/mo so you have to work one Saturday a month which can sometimes be longer than a normal workday. Release Mgmt team is very difficult to work with and can be very disrespectful. They don’t hide it and it’s accepted. Execs killed remote work.
