Pros

The people, met some really nice genuine people. That’s about it

Cons

Where to even start. The training provided is absolutely terrible, we got videos from a team when we took over their tasks, which were poorly done at it was apparent they didn’t even want to train us. Teams are constantly short staffed because the company are cheapskates, leading to extremely long hours. Very long hours are not just required, but are expected with no thanks or recognition. 12 hour days are a regular occurrence. Poor training combined with state street terrible cheap tech make it so you may never know what time you leave on a given day. Also, the pay is terrible for the job expectations. Don’t come here, and if you do, have a quick exit strategy. This job will grind you down.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
