Pros

Many opportunities to work on exciting and challenging projects that bring cutting edge technology and innovative ideas to Schwab employees and clients. The technology folks are some of the brightest and skilled in their field.

Cons

Its a sweat shop - always has been and always will be. Senior leaders are expected to reduce operating costs every year which basically means keeping the headcount as low as possible. You'll find most people are overloaded with work and make personal sacrifices.
