Pros

Straight-forward hours, headphones all day every day, free coffee (!), downtown location near the lightrail.

Cons

Dysfunction abounds. It’s hard to tell at first if the upper management (very stellar backgrounds, charming, etc.) mean well or are going through the motions. Despite all the project changes, I was most upset about the way they make you feel there; lack of upward mobility or just mutual respect (politics there are nuts); and hostility. Not a healthy space for people who are into being in a healthy space. Proceed at your own risk.

Pros

Good people, interesting and varied work across the AML industry. Used to be a great place to build a career.

Cons

IBM acquired the company in 2016 under their former CEO, and the new regime of IBM leadership is either unable or unwilling to develop the business. Over the past few years there has been an exodus of talent at all levels, stagnation of pay (including diminishing bonuses and raises), major increase in outsourcing operations to India, and evaporation of client contracts. In short, there is no opportunity at this company for a prospective U.S. based AML professional. Unless something drastic changes this will be a strictly offshore operation within a couple years, but even that I'm not sure about. I cannot emphasize enough how much IBM leadership has failed to understand, market, and develop this company.
