      Pros

      There are some well skilled, dedicated and like-minded co-workers to enjoy working with learning from. Salary is acceptable. Decent benefits.

      Cons

      Promotions seem to be too rarely based on the actual capability of an employee and seems more often to be based on sycophantic behaviour towards management. The skill level vs job title standard seems to be lower at HQ compared to other offices. Investment in external training opportunities for employees seems to be increasingly pinched and rationed compared to offerings from previous years. Some Dir level employees seem completely out of touch with the day to day operations/realities of the teams they oversee.

      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.
