Pros

It was a very comfortable environment. In every department that I worked in, there were no absurd hours or people yelling at you. It was pretty relaxed and had an old school business atmosphere

Cons

It didn't really feel as though the company was pushing into new territory or expanding, but rather trotting along and sticking to old clients and old methods. It was a very "punch-the-clock" type environment and took a lot of effort to generate interest in improving existing systems and processes.

Pros

Some very smart people in IT

Cons

The level of politics and backbiting is incredible. The Fixed income side was doing fine when I was there but the equity IT side was just horrible. You can tell that around 10 years ago this place was state of the art, but now the quality of the code developed has nose dived and the desire to innovate is completely gone. This whole shop is in maintenance mode for the foreseeable future.

Pros

Cafeteria has great selection, and well stocked kitchen, hours are good

Cons

Constant layoffs, below average pay, too much politics - not much room for growth as promotions are given to politics, no real defined roles in technology, backbiting in tech, behind the times in terms of tools and languages, company doesn't have innovative tools and builds on 8 year old technology
