Pros

Great people Good stability for financial services firm Good comp for mid-senior level jobs

Cons

50% growth targeted for outside of US and lower cost locations - not ideal for US employees Projects are executed many times without flushing out all of the small details that can cost big in the long run.

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.
