Pros

Best manager I have ever worked for; intelligent, proactive and exceptionally qualified teams managed and implemented large projects with aggressive timelines with ease. Exceptionally helpful and willing to teach.

Cons

Costs more to work for them as an intern than you actually make. Work can be mundane and completely unnecessary at times. Work to make work.

Pros

- Friendly working environment. - Slow-paced and relaxed. - Opportunity to work on high-impact financial software. Quite useful if you want to get into a trading firm later on.

Cons

- Limited skill growth capability (tools are severely locked down, etc) - Work life balance can be shaky sometimes since systems fail after 5pm, weekend, etc. - Documentation is terribly organized. - Not enough focus on engineering culture. Overall probably not the best place to stick around if you like exploring new skills, building from the ground up, taking ownership etc.
