Pros
Company offfers stellar benefits (except for 401K matching, ironic deficiency as in all other aspects of comp, it competes very well with other tech companies in SV ). Projects are challenging, but stimulating. Led by exceptionally smart individuals, some are very respected in the Wall Street Technology field and have established themselves as pillars of that industry.
Cons
Long hours and you are always being challenged to retool yourselves Big issue is that even after 20+ years in business, the company is acting as though it is still in a start-up mode. Firm priorities shifts as often and quickly at Integral as the wind direction in the San Francisco Bay. Unfortunately, the downturn in foreign currency trading volatility and volume recently have led the management to side more with the banks and brokers that may not have the best intentions for the overall well being of the foreign currency market and its investors. Company grew significantly with a strong backwind driving its course until last year, but frequent tacking to change its course have diminished its forward inertia recently.
