Pros

The business people here are much more decent compared to other financial shops. Good compensation and benefits.

Cons

Very slow (if ever) to get rid of "bad" employees. When good employees turn a project around, it's the bad employees who get the recognition thus perpetuating the cycle.

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
