Cons
Golden 1 is an organization run by leadership that is culturally incapable of listening. As an analyst, I understand that the purpose of analytics at Golden 1 is to support decisions that have already been made. Leaders have no real interest in analytics, and it shows. When I expressly laid out exactly why Golden 1 was about to lose all of their top analysts due to the return to office, it fell on deaf ears. It fell on deaf ears when Dustin was told that my mother was dying of cancer and I needed to work from home to support her. It fell on deaf ears whenever we raised issues on how horrifically mispriced our auto portfolio is. Leadership did not even alert credit risk to the plans of contracting with a third party to remake underwriting policy. That is how little concern for analytics they have. The criteria for success at Golden 1 is loyalty, not excellence. Golden 1 will continuously fail at building analytics in the org, and when they find themselves stuck with a data warehouse that they have spent millions of dollars on with nobody around to understand or use it, they will point fingers at IT and the analytics groups wondering why. For my part, myself and my team did everything in our power to tear down road blocks and build an analytics community at Golden 1. It was a wasted effort. If you want to make the median salary for your role, never think of work outside of work hours, and do sub-standard work until you retire, Golden 1 is your company. Otherwise, if you are an analyst, steer clear.

IT systems are out of date and too many paper processes.
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Friendly Co-Workers Decent Benefits Hybrid Work Environment
Cons
C-Suite tends to try to do too many things at once. CEO focuses more on growth than on ensuring infrastructure is well developed. The higher up you go in the food chain, the less responsible you are for not meeting goals.
