      Sr. Leaders Are Too Far Removed

      Associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Ability to work remote in most exempt roles -Jeans, all.the.time. -Quite a lot of development opportunities -If on a main campus, tons of discounted food options & doctor & gym -Lean mindset -Solid benefits & PTO/sick time

      Cons

      -Like most businesses, the bottom line is still important. -Being great at your job skills isn't enough. --Mgmt wants you to sip the sauce, be the culture, contribute to the community, etc. -Upper-level managers rarely get in the weeds with you, but make major decisions that impact you. -A little cult-ish

      An OK company that has cool buildings

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The buildings in Tysons look beautiful on the inside. Definitely does not have a corporate vibe. Feels like an IT company in silicon valley. There's all sorts of unique and creative decorations, layouts, etc. They provide some free snacks and drinks.

      Cons

      It all depends on your group since it's such a large company. From my experience, they have way too many software engineers, way too many cogs in a giant machine, and everything is too decentralized. Amazed that anything actually works, quite frankly. There was no vision, just myopic two week sprints, that were incredibly fast-paced. Hated the open layout concept. There are also too many H1B people working there, and they sometimes tended to group together and speak their own language. There was no strong sense of camaraderie among the team. Young people have some pros, but they also have some cons.

      Great Company, Facilities, and People

      Risk management
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Progressive company for the financial services industry. Encourages a diverse workforce, and pays competitively. Great overall environment

      Cons

      Advancement within the company is difficult and not always a product of performance or results, but can depend on your direct manager and his/her reputation within the department. Performance management in general is a huge pain point at this company, and is not likely to change.
