Total PTO accumulates more the longer you work there. If you plan to stay that long, then eventually you get a good amount of time off.

Great paternity/maternity leave benefits for persons who are starting a family.

Layoffs each year since about 6 years ago; layoffs affect all areas.

Groups are laid off with no thought of the impact until afterwards, when things get bad.

So many changes across the tech area, and it's a mess, constantly fighting an uphill battle of changes that often do not work!

Many managers are of a certain ethnic background, who seem to highly favor people who are alike.

Do not switch insurance companies upon the birth of a newborn. Although they give this opportunity, you will be fully responsible for paying the newborn's hospital bill.

No career growth opportunities, although they like to preach about it.

Again, it seems that certain people or teams are favored in this aspect.

Expect to apply and hope to get hired on your own; do not expect them to honor their word on giving you growth opportunities. It's non-existent.

Many talented people left after COVID for good reasons relating to this.

Salaries are not good, and the high inflation for the last 3 years really puts you behind the curve. If you are lucky to get hired elsewhere and swap jobs, you may be lucky to get an appropriate salary, whereas if you stay, you fall behind.

I've learned salary for new hires in the same job title is significantly higher than what I am currently earning.

I am desperately trying to get out of my current role for over a year.

Engineers are constantly working long hours, managers too.

Managers working on their time off is expected, and our workloads are higher while layoffs continue.

It is a very stressful environment with low morale.

It feels like most management of a certain ethnicity/race could care less for anyone else who is not.

There's one person in particular who seemed to try really hard to act as if he values diversity, but it was easy to see he was practically forcing himself to say and act it.

I feel very left out and upset that opportunities are not realistic for those who are not in this category.

Consider higher annual salary adjustments to help in reducing the effects of the insane inflation. I have friends at a competitor bank who were given adjustments mid-year due to inflation, while we work hard and get minimal increases.

Many of us want to leave, but some of us are stuck due to personal obligations and/or because the market is rough right now.
