Great Pay, Toxic Culture
Great Pay, Toxic Culture
The tech stack is great for a credit card company. Benefits are very good. There is a good work/life balance. Total compensation is really good, depending on the level, and includes a generous bonus and LTI.
Outdated performance management processes create a horribly toxic culture. People in people manager roles without training or experience add to the toxic culture. Performance management is a stacked ranking/forced distribution system where a certain percentage are rated "below" which can impact your compensation up to no bonus at all. Furthermore, the process is full of bias and is a popularity contest. Really, really think twice before applying for roles at this company.
The All Associate Survey every year recommends management get rid of the stacked ranking system. That clearly has never happened.
Please review the feedback from your associates and make some changes.
Oh, and STOP calling yourself a Tech Company. You aren't.

I hope the diversity and inclusion leader sees this because I was told I couldn’t have interviewed any better and wasn’t selected simply because I was an external candidate not already embedded in culture, while an internal candidate was in the mix.

The process lasted four hours, with one hour dedicated to each of the following sections: case, technical, and behavioral, including an hour break. The case section involved analyzing input and output, after which I was shown code to identify issues
