Pros

- Colleagues at my level are mostly quite cool and chill. - The office can look quite pretty, and there's a small selection of coffee and biscuits. - They have an internal mobility portal for applying to other roles within the company.

Cons

- Management has taken on a more top-down, commanding approach. They want you to do something, and you just have to get it done. - Constantly cutting team budgets, and without reducing workload. Recently, team budget has been allocated based on how much AI you can cram into products. - Long term external employees suddenly getting let go with no one to replace them. - Middle management doesn't show a lot of interest in employees. Lack of communication to employees, with concerns left unaddressed. - Management imposed a large scale transition of development environments into a less functional environment that was missing key development features in order to cut costs.

Pros

Very minimal pros- you are working in a call center under managers with very little experience.

Cons

Managers are useless. The greater organization refers to the Wealth Advice Center as the “WAC”… yes…. wack. It has a double meaning and the advisors on the ultra high net worth teams are known to make fun of this call center. Very unserious role.
