Pros

If your team is good, you get on well with your manager and you don't work too close to the money you things can be really relaxed and sane. Honestly not a bad way to live.

Cons

5 days in the office is inexplicable, The Bank Street office is pretty lame, the canteen is too small. They don't really develop talent, in that they just fire people and hope they work their way back into the correct role. The whole place is quite soulless. Now if you're on a bad team, everything can be really really awful wrt working hours, comp, enjoyability and everything else. The vibes of the company are very heavily team dependant and politics higher up can easily cause you to lose your job. Working here

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?"
