Pros

Retirement, there are no other pros anymore.

Cons

This company is not one you want to work for. This is my first professional job, and I have been repeatedly lied to and let down by management. Their LEAP program is not great from a learning standpoint and does not actually guarantee any full stack engineering role like they promise- instead, they send a lot of those people straight to QA, despite luring them in with false promises in the job app and interviews. This company apparently prides itself on internal mobility, and yet management will lie to you repeatedly about "asking around about other roles" every time you try to find any sort of change in position. They would rather not have to make a new hire than have happy employees. Speaking of management, every manager has too many direct reports to care or know about your work. Their attitude is "if I don't hear any complaints from your squad lead, you're doing fine". Meanwhile my squad lead is not technical and does not even know if my work is good or not. My manager and squad lead have not met in an entire year. despite my complaints about squad conditions and work value. Overall, this company wants to stick you somewhere and ignore you . And that is even more evident these days with their new RTO policies, which they continue to move the goalposts backwards on as they receive more and more negative feedback. Working here has genuinely ruined my mental health and taken a few years that I will never get back.

Not as much tech innovation but makes sense for a financial firm.

Pros

Benefits including profit sharing and bonuses are great. The breadth of this company provides a great opportunity to try out different career paths or boost your current one.

Cons

In my current role, I am working overtime more often than I'd like with recognition that seems to only go so far until it sizzles out. That may be tied to the size of the company itself, where promotions work in a "trickle down" manner.
