Pros
Nearly everything—salary (especially for my position that’s technically entry-level) Bonus that is considered additional salary The friendliest people I have ever met Incredible benefits (supporting a family on my benefits being cheaper than my spouse's benefits by herself) Incredible 401K dollar-for-dollar match up to 6% Relaxed, low-stress, slower paced work environment Sexy industry and company working in FinTech and for a company that owns and operates the NYSE
Cons
The completely absurd and ridiculous 5-day/week RTO and eliminating any hybrid options. It’s an incredibly outdated and archaic philosophy and mindset. My brain cannot fathom nor process the ungodly amount of work and productivity time lost commuting to and from the office. It’s beyond stupid and selfish of the CEO to impose this without giving any consideration to employees with young kids at home who have a proven track record of success working remotely. This is a severe step backward, and I feel like it’s a major regression in time and progress. The outrage is far and wide, and I hope those in power take this seriously and work toward a compromise that checks their in-office box to give them their unnecessary tax breaks, but gives employees some trust and more time at home with their families and children.
