Pros

Some of my co-workers are great people who work hard in spite of the lack of trust placed in them by management. Banks are dinosaurs anyway. If you want to work in Tech do not work here. Employees are treated unfairly by a ridiculously cheap company that will not even provide paper plates or napkins for employees as a cost cutting measure. This company is highly profitable. I have never seen the company do so little as even buy lunch for the employees unless it is a promote the company event.

Cons

Low pay. No recognition. The HR dept is a joke. One person got Injured on the job after years with the company and HR tried to fire that person. That person was treated ridiculously after years of honest hard work.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

The company has a great severence package. Unfortunately thats a pro because they are laying off workers every 3 months until most of operations are offshore. Decent 401k match and vacation.

Cons

Layoffs, pay is low. Return to office mandate.
