Pros

It's a good place for you if you are towards the end of your career. And it is an all-weather business. Have some good people in management positions.

Cons

Perks for you if you are from a certain minority group. Almost all teams have that minority group, and I've seen people levelling up easier than others because of that. Their outsourcing business to India only makes things easier for you. But what comes with it is unfairness in the workplace and other issues I won't even talk about here. If you've ever worked with them, you know what I'm talking about. Another thing is that all the senior directors I've had a chance to work with are all hard to work with because it's very difficult for them to become an executive from that point on. And a lot of times that bites their own arses because they treat people so poorly.

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.
