Vantaggi
Well run company, good benefits, market rate pay, catered lunch once a week, smart colleagues. Overall, could have been a nice place to work.
Svantaggi
The NYC office was founded to launch Data Science related projects. If you are not on a Data Science project, your work is of no interest to anyone. The sales pitch of "this is a startup within a large and established company" is not true. NYC office culture is rigid and oppressive where feedback is penalized. Employee feedback is mandatory, but God forbid you say something you actually think, even if it is for the benefit of the company. The "wrong kind" of feedback is recorded in your personnel file (along with everything else) and will be used against you. If you are interested in joining a real startup, this isn't one. There is no room to grow. NYC office is small and is intended to stay that way. The parent company is in Maryland. If you want to be noticed and grow your career, NYC office is a dead end. NYC office is led by people who are not technical at all and know nothing about software development, but like to use big words and pontificate about software development methodology. NYC management comes from Bridgewater Associates. They manage up and are rude and horrible to their subordinates. They only care about promoting the NYC office visibility within T Rowe Price and putting on a show for the upper management. They do not understand the work being done and don't care about the people doing it. Stay away!
