Pros

The people I work with are awesome. I have nothing bad to say about anyone I work with. This job also exposes you to the securities markets in a way that you truly get a chance learn a little bit about everything (Stocks, bonds, treasuries, annuities, CD's, etc.). You get to place trades that you wouldn't do at most other places in this industry.

Cons

The main thing that I have an issue with about this job is that it is a call center. Employee retention is terrible and Wells Fargo (not your direct management but the higher ups) treat you like a number. Just because you are pleasing clients and making a better experience for everyone including other employees, if you do not meet the ridiculous metric targets you will not be rewarded. If you have an issue that your direct manager cannot solve, it probably will never be solved. It is impossible to escalate your concerns. All they care about is earning a dollar for themselves and mitigating risk for themselves. The words "call center" were no were in the job description when I applied and I didn't realize I was signing up for a call center job until 4 months into the job when I finished licensing and training and they hand me a computer and tell me to take as many phone calls as I can every day. The definitely hide all the negative aspects of the job until you are too far in to justify leaving.

Pros

- Hybrid approach is great for work life balance - Cross-funtional collaboration has significantly improved over the last few years but still needs improvement - Lower management supports growth very effectively and takes an interest in employees - Wonderful PTO and benefits - Tuition assistance - Great opportunities for diversity and inclusion groups within the company - Salary is competitive - Robust career opportunities and growth as long as you advocate for yourself

Cons

- Senior leaders are not relatable and don't effectively engage employees, they seem annoyed on large meetings (i.e. town halls) - Certain senior leaders don't want to take feedback on improving processes but say they're open to it - Employees who belittle others and react unprofessionally especially on meetings are not coached or told to stand down

Pros

They try to bring in the latest technologies and conduct learning cohorts. This provides a good learning path and challenges the engineers to utilize these technologies. Note: This might be applicable to few projects. Some of the projects use very old tech stack. The time off policy is generous.

Cons

Management does not distribute the work wisely. They are always in a rush to deliver new changes even if no one uses the application. Every small issue is treated as a critical bug and they want it to be fixed immediately, even if it is after office hours or on a weekend. These scenarios are for an application which hasn't even gone live. Management doesn't care about the employee and do not support in any situation. Note: When I say Management, I am not referring to the Chief Officers of the company. I am referring to the Leads, Managers and Senior Managers that engineers report to. These managers want to showcase that they have delivered products in lesser time and budget and so they end up pressurizing the engineers.
