Pros
- The workers are great people and a joy to work with. - If you are unhappy, management will inflate your title.
Cons
- If you are unhappy, management will inflate your title, but not your pay. - If you are good at your job, you will literally go nowhere. There are people here who have been here for years who are in solely charge of important pieces of the business, who have never received a promotion or a raise other than a company wide raise after a funding round. Instead the company will fill positions above you from the outside or promote incompetence. I have seen both happen on every team with more than 3 people. If you do nothing but whine, we may even make you a director or VP. - If you are good at what you do, you will never get more responsibilities even if you seek them out because they cannot afford for you to do something else. If you are incompetent, you can work on interesting projects as the company does not actually rely on you. - There are some people in management whose roles are unknown to the workers. I have heard people ask "what does this person do" with no one able to answer. - Smart people usually leave within a year. Good intentioned people usually give up and leave before 2 years. - WLB is not valued. The end of the month will suck. Work from home will never be tolerated. Management needs to see people in the office. You can spend time with your family the first week of the month, the rest of your time belongs to the company. - Innovation is discussed but not practiced. - Security is not what I would expect for a financial company. The laissez faire attitude was not what I expected when I joined.
