Management thinks money can solve all problems

These guys will exploit you like crazy. Not just during working hours, but also if you don't make them happy, they'll find every corner of your contract to cut you out. The culture is representative of this huffing and puffing, grudge-holding attitude. If you're coming from tech, you won't like it here unless you're a senior executive who wants to do the huffing and puffing.
You said you wanted to attract tech talent as one of 2020's big goals. If that's actually true, try changing your culture instead of just paying people more.
It's both cheaper and paints Citadel in a better light.
