CEO and his minions run the show

Pros

Excellent benefits, great work life balance , good money and less work. You can retire at this place and enjoy travels and big vacations . International business travel at company cost a big incentive. Some are here just because of this .

Cons

If you aren’t close to CEO and CPO, you are wasting your time. Or be close to their 2-3 pets. You are covered if you can suck up and show a blind eye on all wrong things and lies then I will thrive . Banks are ripped off by a lot of fluff. Reviews are a joke . Again, you need to suck up to get good reviews. If u don’t have that skill leave.

Pros

- Health care premium paid totally by employer - Very good 401K match - Generous starting vacation time and holidays - Subsidized cafeteria - Free charging stations for EVs

Cons

- Very European focused, most managers in EU don't understand the US management styles and the dynamics of the USA job market - Lack of diversity in its US IT staff, majority of the staff are from South Asia, who -- no surprise - hire people like them - Stale and semi-competent senior level management in EU, a "la famiglia" that have been with the company for decades and have no idea about the real IT world and the dynamics of the US IT world - Hard to figure where the company wants to go after so much high turnover at the executive level, aggravated by almost constant re-organizations - Antiquated technology, no appetite for risk, while struggling to adopt cloud and Agile - Low base salary, eroding benefits, lower and lower bonuses, and almost no annual raises - Noisy open space office with people that do not respect the privacy of their colleagues

The scum is rising

Pros

Formerly a wonderful company with great benefits, still has a few unmatched benefits left. Medical insurance completely covered by the company. Business class travel if you are located in BE, for some in the USA, and practically none for the poor saps traveling from SE Asia.

Cons

The reviews of the past have always complained about the poor quality of line managers. This year, thanks to the “Agile transformation”, this camaraderie of incompetents have managed to pull themselves to higher levels of management and are driving out the talented few who are left.
