Pros
Firm was competitive and constantly sought innovation, with a focus on time to delivery Yes, the hours are rough, but the friendships you make with the business is worth it I've collected long term connections with the work we did in technology
Cons
-Work life balance, but let's be real - this is always a problem in NYC finance - CTO and his cohorts are masters of word salads that throw out fun buzz words, and then don't actually do anything to action on it. - You'll hear the words AI, Palantir, and Datalake till your ears bleed about how incredible it is, until you look at what they've actually built with it, and it's a half baked product. Whenever you hear someone mention one of those words, ask them, what's actual usage on them, and you'll get an understanding of what the business actually feels about it and how disconnected tech leadership is. - Once saw one of his cohorts skip a meeting with business leaders asking for the technology teams help so she could watch the Vogue runway. But no one can speak to this inner circle, they are the untouchables.
