Pros

You've got to start somewhere. This is an option for that if you want to be in the financial services industry

Cons

You will be asked to sell financial products you absolutely will not fully understand to the people who matter most to you, in exchange for a small slice of the pie that you just baked, without much in the way of help. The VAST majority of people who start in this position do not last more than one year, and those who do are only usually able to do so because they don't have others who depend on their income. IF you have success in this role, it will be a long, hard road.

Pros

Solid benefits package, manageable workload. Can be a comfortable landing spot if you're able to tune out the outdated processes and legacy mindset.

Cons

The company undergoes frequent restructuring, and technical leadership often lacks the depth needed to guide modern engineering decisions. The culture can feel rooted in an older, more traditional mindset, and promising initiatives frequently get stuck in POC hell rather than reaching production. Career progression is also very manager-dependent; the wrong reporting relationship can significantly stall your growth. Overall technical bar is low — if you're trying to sharpen your skills, this environment may hold you back rather than push you forward.
