Pros

Hired 3 years ago (post-COVID). Classified as a hybrid worker but was allowed to WFH full time. You get paid less than others in the industry but the flexibility and laid-back vibe of the company are well worth it in exchange.

Cons

The company has been illegally taken over by Bill Pulte who ousted the board and has caused the company to take an abrupt turn for the worse. We were forced back into office last minute and had to rearrange our lives all the while they were contemplating doing mass layoffs which I still suspect are incoming. Out climate risk group was eliminated, DEI was eliminated, and basically Trumps goons have turned this into a place you couldn’t pay me enough to continue working at.

Pros

Diverse environment Above average pay Opportunities for training

Cons

An unexperienced 33 year old CISO who fired all the best talent, plays favorites, and continually says one thing and does another. He first action as CISO was to fire 20% of the staff and then remove flexible work schedules. Right after the firing he bragged about how he was bringing in a cohort of individuals who were trained for 12 weeks by a staffing firm. He ended up firing several talented people because they came in after 9:30 even though they worked late. In one case he made one very respected employee fill a higher position with more work and the same pay for about a year only to give the position to someone else. It was chaotic and unpredictable with the CISO in charge. He is building a work environment where the entire security organization will be in a large open area which will be difficult for all the people that need to concentrate. It isn't a Wall Street brokerage after all. He also has talked about a shark tank for employees, where you have to pitch ideas to management, who will proceed to rip you apart. What kind of message does that send to employees when they are the prey and management are the sharks?
