Pros

Good benefits. Interesting technical challenges. In the right area, you do get good company culture and an amount of independence to actually address tech debt. A lot of paths to grow/get promoted without leaving the company.

Cons

There are areas that are hellish and there are areas that are decent. Which one you end up in is luck of the draw. Upper management seems more interested in the stock price than worker quality of life. Big change. Getting any kind of significant pay raise requires leaving the company or a manager with a lot of political power, luck, and willingness to go to bat for you. Rare. Very reactive to the market. When it’s up, things are good, when it’s down, they cut heavily and opaquely.

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.
