Pros

There are great people who work here, my team is fantastic, and the work I do is 60/40. Used to feel 100/0.

Cons

The whole RTO process is stupid. They don't care anymore for the work you do, they care about you coming in for x amount of hours. You can literally sit and do nothing for 2 days a week, be lazy and watch YouTube, and Capital One will be happy that you're in the office. The performance review ladder is garbage, there's literally no room for growth. The bar keeps getting raised every year, and it's gotten to the point of doing an insane amount of work, and then your leaders saying "That's great, but you can do more" - I literally don't have the capacity to sell my soul. I used to recommend this place for friends to work at, but after 2023, not anymore.

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.
