Great bank and opportunity, depending on your position
Pros: Focus on work-life balance
Young company, with most employees in the 18-45 age range
Good benefits
Frequent 1:1 meetings with management
Lots of communication
Cons: Performance reviews and expectations not in line with those advertized.
Performance reviews were changed so that the vast majority of employees received a "3" out of 5, which meant doing your job well, but not enough for even a cost of living raise.
Salaries for employees varied widely and sometimes had jumps of up to 50% of base salaries.
Salaries are not in line with corporate standards for areas with higher cost of living.
Frequent micromanagement
No margin for any error, which was, of course impossible, even 97% was not good enough.
