Pros

There are very few.. Some very good people work there but that is all I can really say that is positive.

Cons

Most people there have been promoted into position that do not have any experience. There is no vision. IT systems are the most convoluded and just are a mess. There is zero methodology or SOPs everything is the wild west. Full on panic mode all the time. The pay is some of the lowest in the market. Also most people have been there so long Ascensus is all they know.

Pros

Excellent manager and team with streamlined processes. Benefits are greater than what I have seen in a majority of other businesses. The IT team generally moves very quick to resolve issues. HR/Hiring team was very quick and informative.

Cons

Only have two monitors when three would offer more efficiency. Although many tasks have SOPs and guides, some guides might not be updated (IE I found a guide that had the incorrect naming convention for a file). Any study materials needed to obtain relevant professional credentials are not covered by Ascensus. Obtaining relevant professional credentials also does not provide you with any bonus. You must wait a minimum of 12 months in your current position before wanting to change/pursue other job opportunities at Ascensus. The career ladder, at least in the Compliance team, seems rather narrow and limited.
