Tons of discrimination - Namely Age Discrimination

Pros

Zero! There aren’t any good things about this problem.

Cons

They cycle through people and don’t like older workforce. They only want young young people working for them. Have two friends who were also downsize due to age. There’s laws against age discrimination but because they do this such a clandestine way (even though we all know they do it) the government never gets a complaint.

Pros

-Potentially good culture -Smart people -Competitive salary

Cons

- Your progression is highly dependent on the manager you get, people leaders are promoted based on performance instead of ability to actually manage others so you have a lot of managers who have low EQ and can't develop their associates - Advertised work-life balance only applies to ~40-50% of the company, long hours otherwise - All the truly good associates and smart people leave - Zero diversity of thought, and expectations not baked in reality - likes to pride itself on being a strong competitor and a "fintech" company but in reality is severely lagging behind the big 5 banks on market presence and isn't doing anything about it

Pros

Great pay and benefits Nice campus

Cons

Performance management practices cause competition vs teamwork HR is useless to help out if you have a horrible manager If you want to keep your job, plan to work after hours and weekends to be able to do more than your peers Reorganizations continually rotate managers and associates in and out of roles so they end up with job assignments on a whim that you may never have been interested in doing or be qualified or trained to do
