Pros

No bullies allowed culture, plenty of opportunity & freedom to move around and try different areas, consensus building and teamwork are valued. Lots of innovation and learning. Flexible on-site requirements - we are treated like responsible professionals. One of the most organized & stable tech stacks I've encountered in corporate America. Health care plan is Blue Cross and is *AMAZING*

Cons

Year-end performance reviews are brutal and full of games even though HR does their best to remove biases. This drives a never say "no" to new asks culture, so you can end up working very long days and be spread super thin as well as other negative effects. There is still a need for more diversity in senior leadership.

Pros

Good work life balance. Great benefits (dental, medical, other perks). Very tech forward for a financial institution

Cons

Culture could be better. For example, there could be a better effort to foster camaraderie outside of work hours

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
