      Pros

      - Good work life balance - Good benefits - tuition coverage, PTO - Good starter job - Work from home for most of COVID

      Cons

      - Low end of the pay scale in the financial industry - Different rules for top management - Our salaries were frozen in 2020 and the CEO expanded his bonus pool to $3 million. Our average raise in 2021 was 4%. The CEO got a $5 million bonus and a 33% raise (from $1.5 million to $2 million). Dividends paid to shareholders were increased by 11%. - Difficult to move up - COVID policy gives only two weeks notice to return to work when we go back in the office

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Strong engineering culture with exposure to large-scale financial systems, distributed architecture, and production-critical platforms. Good opportunities to learn modern cloud, performance, and reliability engineering.

      Cons

      Bureaucracy and internal politics can sometimes outweigh technical merit. Employees who take ownership or challenge inefficiencies may face delayed recognition, unclear growth paths, and shifting expectations, leading to frustration and disengagement over time.
