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.
