Pros

* Work life balance is good in certain teams/groups * Good PTO and Training opportunities * Executive leadership (CEO, CIO, CDO etc.) is very good, they are trying to change the work culture. * Female and LGBTQ friendly * Good brand name

Cons

* Middle management (Directors, Sr.Managers) are the worse - they play office politics, and use the company/org to promote themselves. * Unethical and Unresponsive HR team. * Out-dated technology - trying to move to the cloud extremely slowly. * Caste system (white people, and to some extent Indians get promoted ) - even though they are mediocre. * Rampant favoritism and cronyism. * Too many re-orgs in the Analytics division * Talented Black people and Hispanic people are used for tokenism (to show off how progressive the company is, it's all show and mirrors. There is no real serious effort to increase Black and Hispanic employees) * Typical mid-west mentality (Executive leadership is trying to pull the company to the 21st century)

Pros

I didn’t find any pros

Cons

The mortgage department is run by people that are not experienced in the mortgage industry. There is blatant discrimination, and favoritism. When I was at the company there were over 4 HR complaints against management with verification of complaints and nothing had ever been done.
