Pros

It is a solid place to work if you want to get into tech or wealth management in Austin. They are hiring a lot right now to build out the tech platform that the financial advisors use. You get to see how the wealth management industry works from the inside and work on technology that directly impacts advisors, which gives you good experience. Everyone I work with is professional and handles their business.

Cons

It is financial services, so there is standard corporate red tape and compliance rules you have to deal with.
