Pros

Still maintains brand recognition, good facilities and infrastructure (albeit not as good as JP Morgan Chase), very friendly co-workers, great opportunities to work remotely if one were so inclined.

Cons

Dishonest middle managers, poor understanding of the advantages of using technology, implied threats of termination used to "motivate" employees into working 80 hours a week (salaried/no OT), very poor consideration towards employees that are high achievers/performers vis-a-vis rewarding performance with more work without the additional acknowledgement of added responsibility/title/salary, mostly ambiguous goals/unclear strategy, overall very poor morale, very poor work/life balance, and generally just not a good environment to start or advance your career in.

Pros

Great benefits (PTO, healthcare, etc.) for FTEs

Cons

Everything else - Carousel of management changes - Vague and ever-changing role/job descriptions and associated metrics - The constant feeling that we're all about to be laid off but must "prove" our value in the meantime
