Pros

I made an awful lot of money for having little to no responsibility. I was always looking for more to do. I got bored.

Cons

Wasteful management, not in touch with the employees, HR department could care less. They come out and do fake team building exercises that only makes it worse. This place is mismanaged from the top down. Please note the recent departures of many of our executives and heed the warning.

• The benefits are great and there is plenty of job stability. • You get to work for a company that has a great mission of customer protection and market integrity. • A great stepping stone into the industry.

• Nepotism and favoritism run high even if the person is incompetent • Pay is average or poor if you are not a favored employee or brownnoser • There is NO room for advancement for minorities and/or women with small children • Management has no real industry experience and they hate being challenged

Pros

- The work/life balance is usually good, some departments are better than others - Aside from a very small number, the people are awesome to work with - Fairly low stress environment - A good place to start your career

Cons

- Lower on the pay scale than comparable tech companies - Management tends to favor chatty order-takers over successful deliverers - Toxic "performers" are supported by management until they're a litigation risk or hang themselves with their own actions - Very limited advancement opportunity, you can hit the ceiling quick - Product management has been in disarray for 5+ years - Design/User Experience, research, or data driven design, has never been a management initiative - You go through re-org about once a year
