Pros

All this being said if you end up with a good manager who knows the ropes and you don’t work on anything too custom, it’s worth sticking around at least a couple of years. You’ll learn something, they invest in staff training and it’s a great bullet point on your resume.

Cons

The pay is easily 10-20k lower than what you could get elsewhere. Although the retirement benefits are nice. They’ll do whatever it takes to hire you, but then once you work there they you’re just a number. Once the project is done teams are chopped up and divided amongst existing teams with little to no warning. You can walk in one morning and abruptly be told you’re on a new team. There’s tons of red tape. Confusing custom processes mean a lot of re-work and re-submitting tickets. The documentation that does exist is often outdated. While that’s normal in a tech role, often times you’re blocked because you’re working with custom process(or code), the docs are outdated, and anyone with knowledge has moved on (either being reassigned to another team or leaving the firm). There’s always something to do, and don’t forget required learnings and timesheets (even if you’re full time). You’re frequently reminded that you’re just a number. Expect to take on work that isn’t scoped in the sprint. You’re ramping up then ramping down and frequently reprioritizing. It’s a real challenge to juggle it all, and the requirements process is a total mess. Expect at least some of your work to be “throw away”.

Pros

This company is incredible in terms of benefits, opportunity and work life balance. You could easily work here for your entire career and be satisfied due to internal mobility

Cons

In tech very sharply, a lot of male managers are largely incompetent and sexist specifically wealth management and global technology sectors. If you are a woman, let alone a woman of color absolutely forget trying to say absolutely anything that a male "authority" figure or colleague would disagree with. your ideas will never be yours, you will be publicly spoken down to, you will be ignored for weeks and pushed out once male management dislikes you. I have heard such negative rhetoric from men about women in any position of power. It feels so so uncomfortable. I wish I could say bring in more women to change things but if you make an HR complaint even with miles of undeniable proof you are told it's not true. It's certainly one of the more problematic places I have ever worked and twice under caucasian men who could barely communicate within their "areas of expertise" one of which I could actively characterize as abusive. For all of the perks here, I would stay away from tech at all costs as a woman or woman of color. It's a horrible dehumanizing experience.

Pros

Pay was decent, plenty of work (which I like), will gained a lot of experience and knowledge. It’s a large company, so the benefits are good.

Cons

It was fine for many years, but then it became a hostile work environment. I experienced blatant, textbook retaliations at the hands of a senior level manager. I feel as if it was handled poorly by the company. I recommend anyone working there that experiences a discrimination or retaliation claim file it with the EEOC immediately. No job is worth sacrificing your dignity and self-respect. They have lots of “managers”, but very few of them are “leaders” if you know what I mean. I actually had a couple of good managers, but poor leadership at the top can quickly change the entire environment and it did at my office. Over half of the people in my department left within about a year and a half time into other departments. These were lateral transfers and the positions in our department weren’t being eliminated or anything like that. That’s a huge red flag!! The aggressive VP even got a promotion which is sad. Needless to say, I DO NOT recommend anyone work for this company. My family and friends will not work, bank, or affiliate themselves with this company. The bad far outweighs any good.
