Pros

Big company, so you are exposed to a lot, and thus can learn loads Okay salary My team was very positive in the beginning HR is developing Pretty good benefits, especially on the pension contribution

Cons

Doing the work of two people Not being appreciated or valued enough They are just setting up a standardised mentorship program!! Very male-dominated Very traditionalist style due to the current CEO and some managers (CEO initially completely rejected hybrid model and after employees complained re-evaluated, still limited flexibility) No support (requested external training and never received it) Use diversity and inclusivity as a front and nothing more (there are some internal clubs but the company does not seem to be doing much more!!!)

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.
