Pros

Nice co-workers and people in the office

Cons

Company has made it extremely difficult to advance your career. They make junior level employees take a cross sector exam that had nothing to do with their area of work and then get grilled by a panel of senior people. Pass rate is really low and it’s really just a hurdle they put out there so people can’t be promoted. Company is so top heavy that they just keep moving the goalposts for any type of promotion. There is a woman in one of the groups that has been doing the same job as three men in her group for four years and they still won’t promote her - it’s a joke. If your a woman - be forewarned - the published pay gap between women and men is over 40%!!! Again - this is a published, real number. The company has to do this for the European regulators. The reason for the large gap is because there are hardly any women in senior leadership roles. Separately, Senior Directors and Managing Directors haven’t had raises in years. The company just hopes they will leave in their own because it’s very top-heavy. Would not recommend that anyone work at this company anymore.
