Strong Client Base Excellent vision of senior management Transparency of views/goals of Executive Management with all Individuals Keeping employees and clients before anything else I can go on and on Being in the financial Industry for more than 14 yrs I can vouch this is the best organization to be in.

Keep doing what you are doing. The transparency and communication from senior and executive management is like nothing I have seen anywhere!!! Love the culture and the work!!

Great culture, benefits, and hours. Overall good experience

Lack of career opportunity and growth. People tend to stay here their entire career so career advancement is nearly impossible.

Great community, great perks, wonderful people, lots of opportunity for growth and learning.

work/life balance is tough. it is part of the culture to work and always be on call. most newer/younger employees will always eat lunch at their desk.

Good colleagues, cafe food is healthy and subsidized, and the work is rewarding by allowing you to expand your skills and take on more projects.

Pay and benefits are way below market rates for comparable data analyst and data scientist roles. The Bank is currently "consolidating" (downsizing), so managers will use analysts for a project of the analyst's expertise then let them go. Career progress and promotions are limited, they would rather hire new people than retrain/repurpose current employees. Managers will assign multiple simultaneous projects without a realistic understanding of the project time commitment.

In multi-business unit projects, management need to come to a consensus of the business requirements early in the process to keep the project from going down different tangental rabbit holes. Too often would one manager over promise to another manager without realizing the impact on their employees till it's too late
