Pros

- Great Base, Bonus and Stocks for a very competitive total comp - Great work life balance with Hybrid work schedule, general flexibility and generous PTO - Generally impactful work depending on the team which can lead to good career growth

Cons

- Awful performance management system. Twice a year calibration against peers, Apples to oranges comparison, with a mandatory forced distribution twice a year. So meeting expectations or even exceeding them in some cases can lead to poor ratings. Your manager owns your rating and therefore your life. Makes being a people leader here absolutely unbearable, and being an IC even harder. The process is extremely subjective and highly political. Playing politics and being a favorite of the leadership team is the only way to really survive long term. - Extremely political place with a lot of toxic leaders and aggressive personalities across the board. Very cutthroat place. - Culture of fear increasing by the day. - Internal mobility is difficult. Manager gets notified when an associate applies to a new role. - Cannot move internally at all if rating is "Below Strong"

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
