      Good company, but getting worse

      Anonymous employee

      Pros

      Interesting technical work Informal workplace (though contradicted in part by the con below) Great colleagues to work with. Good amount of vacation.

      Cons

      Salaries are mediocre. Management is implementing more and more policies and procedures to micro-manage employees. Managers don't really manage people, they manage policies. These policies are burdensome, time-wasting, and demotivating.

      Good for your resume, opportunities limited.

      Pros

      They move you positions about every two years, good exposure to different areas within finance and the business. Some travel opportunities depending on which department you work in.

      Cons

      -Below market pay -Management hesitant to give you opportunities that you have proven you are capable of. -They will marginalize and squeeze you as much as they can. Truly a slave driver. -With no show of appreciation or care for their employees -Opportunities and management positions are given to inexperienced employees (still not sure why) when there are many higher qualified employees available. -Everything is a secret and as an employee you do not know where you are headed in your career. Lots of uncertainties regarding career advancement for such a structured organization. -Senior management lacks fundamental knowledge of finance and strategic management. -Financial HUB provides no privacy. No office or cubicles.

      Pros

      Ok pay Great Training This job is ideal for people who have no kids and don't plan to for the next 7 years. Single and not in a relationship. Loves to work nearly 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

      Cons

      Managers are military like They do not like different ideas from their own plan to work 18-22 hours a day on an oil rig for 2-3 weeks straight without going home your personal life is shot to hell if you have children don't plan on having any quality time with them for the first 7 years
