Pros

Lunch paid when in office

Cons

I have seen few reviews here saying that there is nepotism in the company, I must agree with that. I have also seen reviews which say that the head of the department is rude, I must agree with that too. Overall this is the place with the most toxic culture where I have ever worked.

Pros

Good benefits (50% up to 5% 401k match, paid lunches, fully paid medical plan). Work-life balance is decent; it's rare to be asked to work more than a 45-hour week. It's a good place to break into fintech, particularly in client services.

Cons

A largely uncollaborative and sometimes toxic corporate culture outside of client services. Unless your name carries weight with management, your colleagues, even at lower levels, can be unresponsive or downright hostile, making it difficult to accomplish anything. Upward mobility and career development opportunities are limited, which reflects the company’s focus on automation and a lean operating model.
