Pros

Convenient to transportation, very close to both major Metra stations.

Cons

Disorganized environment! I waited until 2:00 pm for my computer was set up. I do not recommend this place, there are too many people there who do not welcome new people if you are not part of their clique. People there have no patience for explaining things or training, try to learn on your own. If you ask a question you'll be regarded as stupid, inexperienced or annoying.

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.
