Pros

Nice Benefits with decent salary compensation

Cons

Director & above doesnt have domain / tech knowledge and they bargain effort and cost with managers, Architects. [They want to built a rocket ship in a sprint with 5K Ops cost :D ] Politics , Bias, Groupism [Director, Sr Managers who are from same community & family friends decide ratings in home / coffeeshop] Unrealistic deadlines set my Dir+ [ Causing team to work extended hours , weekends & they Burnout] No Recognition after great deliverables & Dir+ always gives demotivating statement to team [ When we pulled of 6 months effort work project in 3 months by sacrificing holidays & weekends. Dir said that it can be delivered in a Month and team is not capable]

Pros

Pay and benefits were competitive

Cons

“Strategy” consists of 4 days of the CEO talking AT you about, no lie, how the discovery of electricity led to the invention of computers. Amazing insight from a bank that wants to think of itself as a tech company. Onboarding new hires is one size fits all. Stacked ranking performance reviews reward managers who can BS, and ICs who gate keep knowledge and pretend they work alone/the team doesn’t exist. 15% of workforce was mandated to be placed in Below Strong ranking and automatically put on performance improvement plans. This is a ploy used by leadership to fire massive amounts of employees without calling it a lay off. Teams were reorganized 3 times in less than a year of service. Remote employees treated poorly, preferential treatment given to those who commute to the office. Haphazard plan and no transparency for requiring RTO.

Pros

Great benefits, lots of perks, lots of swag and random gifts, lots of team events and a very easy and brainless job. All you have to do is schedule meetings, color code the living life out of that calendar, otherwise you are not competent in C1’s eyes.

Cons

Working there with all the back stabbing people will have you doubting your intelligence and asking yourself if you are ever capable to getting anything done right because the gaslighting is real. They will tell you are doing great, not provide feedback and then in review time you will be blown away by all the lies the will make up to justify your low rating. Yes they do stack ranking and if you are not good at being fake, stabbing people in the back and being the “hey look at me I am so great” to leadership then you will not last long.
