Pros

- Overall compensation plan is excellent - You work with very smart and dedicated people - Overall morale is pretty good considering the current economic climate - Management competency varies from area to area but is generally pretty good - The company plans to keep growing as a bank so that means the IT environment will continue to change and be interesting

Cons

- It is a large corporation so you have the occasional slow movement on decision-making - As we become more of a pure bank the environment is not as stimulating as in years past

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.
