Pros

Perks: West Creek gym, best cafeterias I have seen in the corporate world, good insurance, ESSP, etc. Campus setting is pretty to look at. Intelligent people (for the most part) to work with. Generous severance package

Cons

Cutthroat environment. They are in massive "redeployment" (layoff) mode. The good news is that the severance is so good and the morale is so bad that many people like me took the money and ran. Meanwhile, there is a constant stream of new college hires walking in. Richmond associates are being asked, then begged, then forced (or get redeployed) to move to Willmington, DE. Cross calibrations/Performance reviews are a year round process. It is all based on comparisons to your peers throughout the company who are all working on different types of projects. This means it is a back room process with your manager fighting (or not) with the other managers to see who gets what raises & promotions. Read up on your Machiavelli if you want to survive here.

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.
