Pros

- Good work life balance in some teams - Great people in some teams

Cons

- Company has no future vision / plan. It's running around like a headless chicken. - Cross-team coordination is a painful process. If you are dependent on another team for your work, good luck getting unblocked. - Politics everywhere. Everything is a facade just for show. - Lower comp than competitors doesn't retain great talent. - Boring financial product - Painful and unclear review / promotion process

Pros

People appear to be nice, good benefits, and appearance of nice/collaborative culture.

Cons

Employees - especially those who have been there for years are very territorial for work. The company is highly siloed, people do not collaborate in a positive manner but a very fake manner with alternative agendas. Too many meetings with no agendas.
