Pros
The compensation is great for the area and the 401k benefit is pretty good. I cannot speak to the other benefits, however. If you're in the NYC or Pittsburgh areas, you have tons of opportunities. This isn't true for all offices. There are opportunities to learn the financial side of the business through their e-learning platform.
Cons
Outdated hardware and software development methodologies. Siloed teams, too much office politics, not enough leaders who understand developing good software. Not so quiet environment, constant worry from co-workers on being laid off or their job outsourced to their India offices. Support staff is mostly outsourced and not knowledgeable enough to get things done well or within any reasonable timeframe. Tons of red tape and bureaucracy slows progress to a crawl. Strong aversion to risk causes stagnation and squanders innovation.
