Pros

Salary was good. People were generally very clever.

Cons

Organisation of projects was pretty chaotic - projects frequently got cancelled after significant effort had been put in. There was no real process in place - There was a release every 3 months or so, but it wasn't very well planned and frequently targets were missed, or changed throughout the cycle. That was about it really as far as process goes. The project I worked on was enormous, on its last legs, had zero unit testing, and was therefore totally unsuited to any refactoring. Most of our effort was spent on bug fixing. The delicacy of the code meant that implementing even the simplest new features took an age.

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.
