Pros

Very competitive pay and benefits. Onsite amenities (cafeterias, fitness center, health clinic, tennis court, ball field, soccer field, walking trails) are fantastic (they have an onsite Chick Fil A and Starbucks). Challenging work and very open to new ideas. Decent access to Sr Management. Very large focus on development. Excellent place to learn and push yourself. Great opportunities to create.

Cons

Very political. Thay talk alot about diversity as long as you fit their model of thought. Starting to get more bureacratic as they transform into a major Bank. They still haven't figured out how to manage costs proactively yet (see above).

Pros

Most advance tech stack. Cutting edge research

Cons

Performance management and feedback based system drives politics. Senior management usually works towards saving their own a** especially in legacy orgs

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
