Pros

Pretty good work/life balance - longer sprint cycles mean it's not hard to deliver on requirements.

Cons

They are not a tech firm. It's the technology arm of a slow-moving, bureaucratic finance firm. Not embracing WFH - very strong years with whole staff WFH, but now are pushing for 3 days and eventually full week back in office. Lots of my team is leaving because of it.

Pros

Competitive and fast growing. Market dominance and great marketing.

Cons

There are no accountabilities in this company. People are arrogant and have a lot of egos. The culture in this company is toxic and a lot of backstabbing.
