Pros

There are some good people who work there.

Cons

Verbal abuse and bullying. Unless you kiss butt and are part of the “good boys club”, your hard work won’t matter and you will be treated poorly. The financial planning training is non-existent but you are expected to give advice to clients. You are on your own with no help from managers. I was always surprised that there were any clients left. They are nickel and dimed like crazy. Do yourself a favor and do not apply.

Pros

Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

Cons

They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
