Pros

- fairly stable - good work life balance - good benefits

Cons

- lack of career mobility - lack of quality mentorship from managers - lots of old legacy technology and vendor products that are challenging to work with - very hierarchical reporting structure and too much middle management - consensus driven culture to a fault - few people are knowledgable enough to be comfortable making big decisions so the result is lots of long meetings with too many people - software development and product decisions move at a snails pace due to risk and regulations, consensus driven culture, high attrition, etc. - culture is not set up to encourage experimentation and iteration

Pros

Well-run company that knows its values and lives them out. They hire well, and trust people to do their jobs, and people almost always do. Very tech-forward, and adopts the current tech meta quite well.

Cons

Performance management is a double edged sword. It feels intense, but I get why they do it. And helps me reflect on where Im at. Small price to pay

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.
