Pros

Pays livable wages, benefits are mid tier but reliable. Low output expectations from employees. Company culture is stable and predictable if you don't like surprises.

Cons

This is the kind of office job that movies paint as horrible and repetitive. It's Office Space without the sense of humor. I work at a literal toy company now and it's more professional, profitable and well-staffed. I get paid more, started with 5 weeks of PTO and no micromanaging bosses who treat me like a toddler. The point is that it gets better elsewhere. This place is a sinkhole for accomplishment. The only people who think PRR is a successful, professional company are the middle managers who don't actually add anything to it.

Pros

Good people, interesting and varied work across the AML industry. Used to be a great place to build a career.

Cons

IBM acquired the company in 2016 under their former CEO, and the new regime of IBM leadership is either unable or unwilling to develop the business. Over the past few years there has been an exodus of talent at all levels, stagnation of pay (including diminishing bonuses and raises), major increase in outsourcing operations to India, and evaporation of client contracts. In short, there is no opportunity at this company for a prospective U.S. based AML professional. Unless something drastic changes this will be a strictly offshore operation within a couple years, but even that I'm not sure about. I cannot emphasize enough how much IBM leadership has failed to understand, market, and develop this company.
