Pros

Some businesses units have independent view on the technical stack and on process. The overall compensation level is good and competitive including a bonus package.

Cons

Bad competence of the management, corporate mud, very regulated environment due to the fintech specifics. SecOps procedure and paranoia about hacks which leads to a lot of pre-installed software on the corporate computer - this makes software life harder and development productivity suffers.
