Pros

Successful company, important industry, you learn a lot about financial technology.

Cons

Those stupid screensavers that kick in after 2 minutes and keep you from holding a conversation. Security-hobbled processes. Terrible workflow software. Minimal employee facilities, miniscule break room. Required financial regulatory training even if you work nowhere near that stuff. Since ICE acquisition, they've cut PTO for new employees, below what's common in Boston tech industry.

Pros

Giant international corporation with unlimited resources. Multiple locations around the country and the globe with tons of jobs that are open for internal transfer (with some considerations). Generally high pay range.

Cons

Giant international corporations treat you as an unlimited resource. They use "Unlimited PTO" model for Sick and Vacation time, which I feel is a misnomer and a disingenuous concept as a whole. Unrealistic fixation on making employees use AI with no clear plan or direction on how it should happen.
