Pros

Professional environment, highly intelligent workforce, and opportunities for those with an innovative mindset. The organization is becoming more open to global mobility and cross-functional job moves.

Cons

Demanding environment with increasing work pressures. Culture is spoken, but not lived. Golden hand-cuffs apply here... pay, bonus, benefits and stock options make it a challenge to leave.

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.
