Pros

They are a powerhouse in the financial industry. The name is instantly recognizable and gives immediate basic credibility for the employee working there. Some great products and services when placed correctly.

Cons

COVID response was absurd. Requirements were unrealistic. Also, significant woke values make it problematic and often is at odds with the values of high net worth customers that I was actively seeking each day. Mandatory COVID testing if not vaccinated. Mask mandate significantly longer than other organizations. Mandatory after hours "Courageous Conversations" regarding George Floyd including an 8 minute moment of silence to replicate the amount of time he was kneeled on by the officer. I had to take a training specifically regarding my "white privilege" which was offensive and ridiculous. The social media oversight and requirements were very nitpicky which I have not had to face at other similar organizations. Pushing required pronouns in emails and other communications. Basically continuing to cater to the woke mob in every facet of the ignorant cause. No leeway or flexibility for those with different values.

Pros

They treat people well overall. It's all about connecting to others to get anything done, so if you're great with networking and maintaining connections it's a good place to work. Honestly the kindest layoff I've ever experienced, including genuine internal support to find another job. Still doing meaningful DOI work, including some of the best friendly benefits out there.

Cons

If you don't have a highly specialized cyber security skill set or work at a main campus in Texas, Ohio, Delaware, New York or New Jersey don't expect to ever move up the ladder. Staying focused on goals OR successfully communicating strategy pivots seems to be beyond most MDs in Global Technology. They seem to be having a re-org problem at the moment. I had 5 managers in the last 365 days I was there, hardly time to get any work done and then challenged at the end to show impact or delivery, all you can do is shrug and say 'tell me how, when you moved me every 2 months?"
