Pros

Good work/life balance, good work location, great separation benefits, tries to practice what it preaches with regard to company values, i.e. is more ethical than most banks.

Cons

Made a decision to replace traditional QA with full-stack engineers while refusing to allocate funds for re-training resulted in lots of product knowledge being shown the door. They are not sure what they want to be in San Francisco. Many layers of management. Home office is out of touch - CEO doesn't even visit San Francisco.

Pros

Most advance tech stack. Cutting edge research

Cons

Performance management and feedback based system drives politics. Senior management usually works towards saving their own a** especially in legacy orgs

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
