Pros

Great benefits and decent salary package. A great learning opportunity regarding investment products

Cons

No work-life balance. Most individuals average 50+ hour weeks and most login from home to keep working. Most processes are manual and there is no urgency in management to automate the processes

Pros

decent pay and good name drop to add to your experience and resume

Cons

everything!! since this was a contract role I was brought in to complete a project with 0 leadership or direction. I was left to figure out everything completely on my own from finding a computer and a desk and a phone to figuring out who to contact in India etc to help me revamp the entire global website on the backend. I literally had to show up to work everyday at least an hour early so that I could possibly try to find a open desk sometimes I had to work on the floor or find somewhere in the lunchroom I could set up in the corner this went on for over a month.
