The Options Clearing Corporation reviews

Been here over 20 years, used to be a small and family like company, but since Covid it become worse and worse, project keep failing, Renaissance developed over 8 years with no day to go live, terrible architecture design. hired many people outside with low skill but keep playing politics, the culture here is toxic, finger point game everywhere, especially new people was bullied, manager keep pressing, have to develop for new system while oncall support old Encore system. often got call 2am in the morning and still have to go to office, this company will destroy your health and totally not worth to stay here.

The new CSO is a CIO in disguise, with little regard for actual security. His obsession is with AI—not even security-related AI, just whatever buzzword will get him attention and name recognition. Instead of understanding the environment or focusing on risk, his energy goes into promoting himself and chasing shiny tech narratives. He’s quick to tell everyone how smart he is, but doesn’t dig into the details, doesn’t understand the current environment, and doesn’t build achievable strategies. Instead, he parrots whatever leadership wants to hear, functioning more as a “yes man” than as a true security leader. The result? Real security threats are ignored, employees feel attacked instead of supported, and the program drifts further away from anything meaningful. Compared to the prior CSO—who delivered measurable improvements and encouraged trust—the downgrade in leadership is impossible to miss.
