      Pros

      At this point, I am not sure there are any

      Cons

      No cohesion. The company used to be a bottom-up company that has transitioned to a top down culture. Problem is we have too many new people at the top who don't understand our business and don't know how to balance change with keeping the legacy business going. Also, management just straight up lies to our faces constantly. We also can never get any questions answered except for the softest of softball questions.

      A bunch of new leaders who don’t know what they are doing

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Legacy employees are great. People who actually know what the structure is and know the world of financial institutions.

      Cons

      Senior Leadership is more interested in lying to customers (Somehow at Accelerate 2025 we were at parity with competitors, but at Axis 2026 we were behind but spent the year catching up?) and making promises they don’t know how they can deliver on. Also, every member of the SLT and their VPs all have their own agendas and don’t know how to build something sustainable. They are trying to convert the company into start-up, even though we had a well-established business presence. They would rather work their employees to the bone instead of making things manageable. Also, they build out the Agile leadership before any other new organization. So now, product and IT is focused on complying to “radiance” rather than radiance accelerates how we get our work done.
