Pros

You get a pay check. That is about it. This has been the worst experience I have had at any workplace.

Cons

This place lacks common decency. They do not tell you the truth when they hire you, make up responsibilities and titles. Once you start working, they will tell you that your job function is different. There was a lot of abuse by my senior manager who got away with it. Constant bullying. The place is ailing. Employees try to get ahead by backstabbing colleagues. I guess what you would expect from a place that has no revenue growth, suffers under fee pressure and can only grow earnings by cutting expenses.

Pros

Job only as good as immediate manager. Salary is Ok ish Benefit options are ok not great.

Cons

1) Retaliation is a way of life at this company going back to 2018 and becoming worse since 2) Mid level managers are very efficient at passively insulting the Teams they are responsible for. 3) It is nearly impossible to advance in the company. 4) When you try to post to another department - your Mid level manager will do the best to stop you from advancing. Some have close friends in HR that will even have you submit a new application in an attempt to accuse the other department of recruiting you. I have experienced this. 5) The only way to increase pay and experience is by leaving the company. 6) It use to be a culture of lets help others when there is a problem, now it is lets find who to blame for upper mangers rushing a project before all risks are identified. 7) If you are taking a new Job - professionally push for higher Salary once you are in raises will be very small.
