Pros

Can still work fully remote, some nice coworkers, good learning resources

Cons

Terrible management and low morale. Had a sexist manager early on who ruined my career trajectory - I’ve had a new manager every year since I’ve been here. DEI is non existent. If you’re a WOC, don’t even bother joining - you’ll be treated like support staff and managed out no matter your credentials. Upper management is only interested in cost cutting so salaries are weak compared to the industry especially NYC. Hardly any raises/adjustments in 4 years - on my way out the door with a 40% increase in base at another bank. The path for promotions/mobility is nonexistent - even the good managers have no guidelines or follow through for this at all. It’s basically who they like on the day they have to make decisions. Some people do all the work and the others get all the credit. Bad management and low salaries/no bonuses are driving all the good employees out, so everyone else is stuck picking up the pieces. Doesn’t have the greatest reputation - I’ve had people not even in the industry ask me why I work here after the consent order and corruption.

Pros

None - used to be a great place but not anymore

Cons

None - after the merger and new inexperienced ceo - the whole company is a mess. Leave while u can. Ceo has no direction ; only wants to control and bring her own people. Biased.
