Svantaggi
Terrible work/life balance. Working 50+ was an expectation in the Risk and Compliance group. The "unlimited PTO" ends up being more like 10 days a year. What end's up happening is employees are pressured into not taking PTO and anyone taking more PTO than their peers is labeled as a "non team player". You are also required to plan out your schedule for the next year and if you don't meet their expectations you will probably get the boot. After the merger the company got really aggressive about employees meeting chargeable hours and if you didn't your account was flagged. This last point may be more biased but the company just recently laid off several people (myself included). This all happened while they were proudly announcing "how much they're growing" and "how even though the market is not doing well, they are not laying off people". Lastly, for some outlook into the culture of leadership, the way they handled the layoffs is as follows - they scheduled a "Touch point" meeting in teams 5 days before laying off those affected and during that "Touch point" meeting is how we all found out. That same week and the previous week I worked about 14+ hours of over time. On top of that the person that gave me the news was about 4 steps above my direct supervisor and they didn't even know we were being let go. I was then told to keep it all quiet.
