Pros

work life balance is pretty good. compensation matches the fact that there is minimal night/weekend work and a pretty slow pace.

Cons

there is little change when change is clearly needed. employees are fleeing pretty much weekly. hr talks about improving the employee retention but nothing has been done. management is also sadly very weak. people-leaders aren't necessarily good at managing people, they've just lasted for a long time. there is little room for growth or opportunities across the company.

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.
