Pros

Good 401k match even though the 3% discretionary only vests after 6 years... Good vacation policy. associate and up get 20 days + 3 personal. Come in and go home kind of place.

Cons

Forced all employees back into the office in June of 2020 for no reason. No accommodation for working mothers or prior health conditions. No long term business growth or prospects, people are jumping ship in droves this year; all top female talent has already left (search efinancial careers for the article). No opportunities for junior staff, heavy white French male presence, especially in management. Comp for junior FO roles is 40-60% below market, no long term prospects. Morale is at an all time low.

Pros

- Good work life balance. - Good atmosphere in my team.

Cons

- Salary is 30-40% under market, despite "above expectations" at performance reviews and consistent positive feedbacks. Run away if you're on a visa, they'll take advantage of you. - I agree with other comments, HR team is toxic, power play. - Slow. - Don't expect to be able to change things. - No IT culture, lots of manual tasks with low value added due to very poor IS. You'll spend half your time exporting data from legacy systems, manipulate the data and do low value added reporting. As an example, you need to go through a poorly designed UI to export a greek, and wait ~15/30min to proceed with another export. And you only have access to a quarter, so for a period of one year, it's 4 exports. Imagine having to export 3 different greeks over a year, that's 12 exports. - IT team couldn't whitelist yahoo finance endpoints after two years of back and forth with several IT teams.
