Business Outlook
Pros
Some really nice people work there, and some of them really know their stuff. They have a lot of technology projects, and bright people at the top running them. They're a major market maker and a very reputable old Chicago institution. Some people have been there for decades.
Cons
The organization is a bit bureaucratic, so things take time to get approval. It seems, some people do about 30 minutes of real work every other day. Others work unpaid overtime to pick up the slack. Agressive offshore recruiting onsite derails many a project. They have some pretty old tech there and need to cut the cord.
