      "The wealth management side of the business is still very stodgy and has work to do regarding D&I. Women at higher management levels treat other women badly. I prefer working with men to avoid the drama. "

      "This is a great company to work for. Hardwork does not go unnoticed here. Everyone's voice and concerns are heard and Northern Trust does a great job in letting that be known. Everyone here is a team-player and the culture is "family like." It's a pleasure to work here!"

      "The family benefits are some of the best you will find in the US. If you want to be there for your family, have good vacation and maternity benefits and a company that lets you do what you have to do for your kids, this is the place. Just be aware, the pay isn't as competitive and there is still some resistance in various groups to remote work (butts in seats mentality). Take it for when your kids are little and you want to be home, then get the heck out and go someplace that will pay your worth. It's a trade-off for excellent work-life balance and the benefits make it worth the slightly lower than MV pay."

      "This has been a great company to work for as a woman. My boss and the majority of the people I work with are women. Women are well represented in leadership and management roles and the environment is family friendly. Maternity time is generous and I did not feel judged for taking advantage of the full benefits offered. Paid maternity time is generous and FMLA begins after paid time ends rather than running concurrently so I felt I had plenty of time with my little one. There are plenty of opportunities for career development."
