Vice President (Former Employee) - Tempe, AZ - July 25, 2022
The lack of overall investment knowledge and practice is glaring and this includes the Senior management team. Northern Trust wants to send 60% of its workforce to India because the labor is cheaper.
Pros
Wear jeans

Couldn’t get out fast enough
Senior Accountant (Former Employee) - Chicago, IL - July 10, 2022
Was the longest six months of my life. Management was incompetent and constantly making mistakes. Was embarrassed at the service that was provided to our PE client. Old and poor functioning systems, no work life balance. Micromanagement. Awful. Would never go back.Pay was okay, but other benefits almost nonexistent. No work culture, no bonus.

Low pay raises
Senior Financial Analyst (Current Employee) - Chicago, IL - May 31, 2022
Great benefits. Company offers generous time-off. Must have the right connections to get ahead. Very minimal pay raises throughout my time there. Hard work is not appreciated.

Too many legacy people
SVP (Current Employee) - Chicago, IL - May 4, 2022
Too many legacy employees who have been there 30+ years and who have no new, original ideas anymore and cannot lead by example. Not very innovative, technology is atrocious. Management a bit out of touch.
Pros
Culture seems to be “employee” centric, but really depends on which mgr and LOB
Cons
Benefits, technology, innovation

Depends on your group
Manager (Current Employee) - Chicago, IL - March 30, 2022
I like my team, very supportive. Could be paid more somewhere else though. Flexibility is great and so is work/life balance but again, depends on the team you are on.

Who's in charge anyways?
Risk Analytics Manager (Former Employee) - Chicago, IL - March 16, 2022
Senior management has established separately managed business units who see no need to coordinate strategy or plans for technology and infrastructure. As a result, data and information is highly siloed and systems do not interconnect well. Revenue generating business units have ample budgets for technology and staff with a lot of redundancy but corporate functions are severely underfunded and under-resourced. Best to seek roles in the business units.

Management
Travel Administrator (Former Employee) - 50 S LaSalle St - March 11, 2022
Worked for this company for 19 years plus. In those years my position was underpaid, overlooked, and not respected as I should have been as my peers were.
Pros
Diverse
Cons
Poor Management
Was this review helpful?
Depending on the department you know what needs to be done.
Been with the company 5 years and was only promoted once due to lack of advancement ability. Manager has favorites and will make it known if you’re in their circle. Manager will yell at you over the phone and then try to track back to make it seem like it never happened. If you try to report it would get told you have no proof.
Pros
Work/life balance
Cons
Pay, hostile environment, section manager, retaliation

Good place to start career
Associate Consultant (Former Employee) - Chicago, IL - January 31, 2022
The people are really really nice. The office is really nice and the views of Chicago will never get old. The office environment can feel toxic at times, depending on department. Management is very stubborn and I personally don't have hope that things will change with regards to retaining talent. Can feel like the company doesn't care about your learning develpment depending on team/department.
Pros
- Good work/life balance, you rarely if ever have to work after 5pm, - Flexibility, just get job done, - You won't get fired unless you try, - People are nice, - Nice view of Chicago from office
Cons
- Little Structure, - Progression feels slow, - Lack of transparency, - Don't learn much, - I personally spent months literally not doing anything which hindered learning, - A lot of complaints about compensation from employees

Morning meetings, fair rotation, great communication.

Late comers for dining
