Pros

Fairly good pay and benefits, but it would have to be in NYC 4 weeks vacation Learning the Bloomberg terminal and APIs could help you find a good job someday

Cons

Awful code is the norm and nobody seems to care 17 inch monitors everybody is long on excuses for problems, short on solutions ridiculous cramped noisy work environment

Pros

- smart colleagues and team leads - decent salary & compensation - lots of good technical practices like emphasis on code quality, issue tracking (but depends on the team vastly) - lots of good organizational practices like reimbursement for tuitions, on-site fitness coach, etc. - lots of interactions with business & other eng teams to grow your communication skills

Cons

It was very bureaucratic when it came to taking care of their employees. I applied for a course in a university with their tuition aid. However, when I left, the HR asked me to pay back the full amount since I left within a year. I understand that it was in the policy, but the course was directly related to our work and I did apply what I have learned. It was also not like I left immediately after the course (> 8 months). I felt they could have been more generous to their employees. There were also numerous other cases like they declined my WFH requests when I needed to go back to my country and vote. I also think the tech stack they used is very outdated. Their frameworks and tools (DBMS, deployment tool, etc.) were almost all proprietary. I did not notice how undesirable my skillset was, until I returned to the job market. I would not recommend any engineer who values their career path to stay there for very long.

Pros

Name recognition due to owner's name being the company name.

Cons

It's a company where longer tenured engineers have been put into management type roles without proper oversight. The managers don't hesitate to make false claims to get an employee they don't like out the door via performance reports with false claims, and the employee is never given a chance to respond or refute. No questions are asked. Can you call this a good culture? HR is simply unresponsive to ethical violations within the company, would rather post positive company reviews. The work is very mundane, many people stare at the terminal even when there is no work as they are required to do so.
