Pros

- Decent vacation time - Opportunities to go to conferences and workshops - Generally good people at individual contributor level

Cons

- Severe lack of product/business strategy - Very little transparency into decision making processes - Preoccupation with trivial metrics (like time spent in chair) - Executives unwilling to listen to ideas from the (very qualified and talented) team, instead their own ideas are implemented without discussion - Little autonomy - Leadership talks the talk, but when you pull back the curtain, the dysfunction is inescapable.

Pros

Flexibility is what sells this place as a great place to work. Hybrid schedule, great PTO, no guilt trips for needing time off for family matters.

Cons

Your experience will vary greatly based on your manager. One asset manager can freely call in or wfh without worry where another AM may be reprimanded for the same. The insurance department is completely inept. Borrowers are constantly threatening to sue because our insurance dept management sucks. Very little training across most departments. Some people work very very hard, others dont work at all, there doesnt seem to be much oversight there. When a manager tells their employee "dont expect to get promoted next year" with no guidance or encouragement, you pretty much kill all motivation for that employee to do better. They will hire people as senior staff and pay them way more than their seasoned employees make, and then tell their seasoned employees not to expect a senior promotion.
