Pros

It's downtown, so I guess that might be good for some people? They let us work remote for about 3 years, made record returns on their investments during those years and then told us that we needed to come back into the office anyway.

Cons

There's more contractors than real full time employees and they rarely, if ever convert contractors. All the benefits of working for a company (health insurance, bonuses, days off, etc) are only applicable to full time employees, i.e your departmental managers. No career advancement Bad management, clueless C-level,

Pros

Benefits, pay, location. Genuinely friendly people.

Pros

Depends on position. Pro was limited customer contact

Cons

Poor management, inconsistent directives, you are pretty much treated poorly. Never been treated so poorly in my entire 35+ years working. Do not promote from within. Work system is a nightmare. If you don't work for investments, you don't matter.
