Pros

Not much really… lots of forward focused promises but empty ability to do any of it. Interesting that they have this “plan” but honestly from the inside looking out it is not really happening

Cons

So many to mention Network failures daily, randomly can’t even connect to the internet. Just stops working at least once a week. WiFi in the office is bad too. Over all complex processes to build products equals no real work getting done. New teams being built and new hires delayed and delayed. Out sourcing everything even HR off shore. The plan is for around 10% of US foot print to remain. US banks deserve better. Completely dis functional

Pros

Candescent has a strong, people‑first culture and is in an exciting growth and build phase, offering real opportunities to make an impact. Employees feel valued, heard, and supported, and the company is actively building a connected culture that brings people together. The work is purposeful, focused on building modern digital banking solutions that matter.

Cons

It has been a great company so far and it is a fast-paced environment.

Pros

At this point, I am not sure there are any

Cons

No cohesion. The company used to be a bottom-up company that has transitioned to a top down culture. Problem is we have too many new people at the top who don't understand our business and don't know how to balance change with keeping the legacy business going. Also, management just straight up lies to our faces constantly. We also can never get any questions answered except for the softest of softball questions.
