Pros

Nice people on the team willing to help each other out

Cons

So many cons, where do I start. Since I have joined there’s been poor planning for projects. Leadership saying things must get done without proper planning, giving no incentives while employees are overworked (if you are on a team that is doing any sort of project, there are so many teams stuck in planning phases for years). Leadership sets impossible deadlines and tells everyone they are doing great, but fails to recognize that means nothing when their employees are burnt out and getting severely underpaid. Forced to be on call at random hours without proper communication because “it is crucial and important” Every task becomes important which means everything has to get done. You can try to do more work but you most likely will not get a promotion or recognition unless you are best friends with people higher than you. Do your job as is, and it’s considered not enough, but again lack of incentives completely. Managers usually don’t know what the people under them are doing, and pick and choose based off of favoritism. If you are not their favorite , good luck!!

Pros

Good work life balance and benefits are pretty good depending on management. Really the only thing that kept me here so long was the people in my team.

Cons

Pay is lacking compared to competitors. CEO makes 15 million and CFO makes 10 million, but they don't want to pay competitive wages. Senior Leadership in finance space have brought it up, but little to no change
