Thanks for sharing your feedback. Offering a comprehensive compensation and benefits package is a key way we recognize our employees for the contributions they make to our business, so we’re glad to hear you enjoy those benefits. Part of that benefits package is a generous Paid Time Off (PTO) program that has been benchmarked to ensure it is market competitive and enables our employees to make the most of their time away from work. We’re sorry to hear that PTO program isn’t working for you. We’re also sorry to see you feel there is no growth here. We are very focused on helping our employees grow in their careers. We’ve been proud of the numbers we’re seeing in our annual promotion and internal mobility. Last year, 14% of employees were promoted and 30% of open positions were filled internally, putting us at or above the industry average on both counts.

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.
