Pros

Work life balance is a respected value throughout company. An inclusive company and embraces diversity. I would recommend to people who are happy with stability.

Cons

This company is backwards. There are a lot of people who work here for an extended period of time and while it is an indicator that it may be a good place to work at, it also means you are left with employees who are now in senior positions purely based on tenure rather than capability. There is no concept of meritocracy. What thus ends up happening is folks in leadership positions who have no idea or vision on how things should actually operate. Inefficiencies are a common occurrence. Lastly, the divide between investment people and the rest of the company is also extremely wide; essentially it is a company filled with people who considers themselves the elites versus the rest who overwork themselves to meet their extraordinary demands.

Pros

The bonuses and CSRP of 15% as well as many benefits are unmatched. I enjoy many of my colleagues and have made life long friends.

Cons

It was a great place to work and many will continue to feel that way until they are affected like those of us in the Norfolk Virginia office. There is no loyalty from the company and people are replaced either by a “vision“ of technology that doesn’t yet even exist within the organization or by cheap labor “offshore“. I thought I would retire from here and now I find myself out of a job after over 20 years before the end of 2027.
