Pros

There are other engineers who are very knowledgeable. The pros end there

Cons

Don’t expect to have a life outside of work. Even when you get all of your work done and mentor others, they’ll demand you put in more time and effort outside of work hours. They don’t pay well, and their benefits are mediocre at best. The culture is really a facade, and almost cult-like. The tech stack is grossly inadequate and their processes will make you hate your job, as you feel like you have one hand tied behind your back every time you try to get anything done. The mandatory annual training is seriously a joke, and a huge waste of time for everyone.

Pros

Strong technical stack and real ownership of enterprise reporting. Complex servicing and NPL data gives senior analysts room to build governance, dimensional models, and end-to-end pipelines with genuine business impact. Skilled peers and access to large regulated datasets (FNMA, FHLMC, HUD) that sharpen your craft.

Cons

Heavy reliance on undocumented legacy systems that fall on individual contributors to reverse engineer. Knowledge concentration creates single points of failure and inconsistent handoff when people leave. Org changes and shifting priorities can outpace documentation and process maturity.
