Pros

Highly regarded in Financial Services Industry

Cons

A large portion of the company is comprised of officers who are out for themselves ($$$ and their career gains). HR is incompetent and treats people poorly. Many of the best people continue to leave on their own accord or have been involved in layoffs. The org used to be very people-centric but things changed drastically with new CEO in '23.

Pros

Medical benefits, location is good

Cons

Hiring managers who don’t know what they are doing. It’s not what you know but who you. Very micromanaged, environment is not family friendly!
