Pros

Some amazing and talented people work here.

Cons

Get ready to read! - Untruthful management - High turnover in technology (UX, UI, product designer, & full-stack engineers) - Bait and switch - unethical interview practices - you will interview with different people (bait) and be told you will be on either of their teams, then on day 1 these people are not your manager and you have no permanent team (switch) - Contract positions are NOT - contract to direct hire like they sold you at the interview and also wrote in the job description + emails - Toxic teams cultures exist so beware of where you are placed - People do not respect work/life balance and will book meetings even if you have a prior meeting booked - Revolving door Now you have been warned! I just wish someone did the same for me. Waste of time.

Pros

Flexibility is what sells this place as a great place to work. Hybrid schedule, great PTO, no guilt trips for needing time off for family matters.

Cons

Your experience will vary greatly based on your manager. One asset manager can freely call in or wfh without worry where another AM may be reprimanded for the same. The insurance department is completely inept. Borrowers are constantly threatening to sue because our insurance dept management sucks. Very little training across most departments. Some people work very very hard, others dont work at all, there doesnt seem to be much oversight there. When a manager tells their employee "dont expect to get promoted next year" with no guidance or encouragement, you pretty much kill all motivation for that employee to do better. They will hire people as senior staff and pay them way more than their seasoned employees make, and then tell their seasoned employees not to expect a senior promotion.
