Pros

- c1 is fully in the cloud (aws) so you MAY get to work with the latest technologies - there are pockets that push for the highest standards for engineering - stress free, low hour work on most teams

Cons

- regulation stifles innovation and this is strongly felt at even more tech driven banks like c1 - typical pains of large company - change management team/cyber security team have too much authority, obviously a lot of great folks there but quite a few incompetent ones as well sadly; this leads to a lot of extra redundant and tedious work to avoid escalations with management (getting exceptions often requires VP approval and many managers are afraid of doing this, probably due to authority of these regulatory teams at c1)

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.
