Pros

The technical achievement is impressive. Rich was a true visionary when investing in the infrastructure needed to build an agile tech/bank empire.

Cons

The performance management approach is poisoning the company from the inside out. Everyone knows it except for the one person forcing it forward. It has created a toxic blend of constant anxiety, extreme politics, back-biting, self-preservation, and self-interest before mission. No one is ever doing their best work because the process creates so much noise. Forcing 15% of associates into the underperforming category twice a year feels ethically wrong, especially when you’re required to make up reasons that are unjustified and not commensurate with the actual performance and results.

Pros

Most advance tech stack. Cutting edge research

Cons

Performance management and feedback based system drives politics. Senior management usually works towards saving their own a** especially in legacy orgs

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
