Pros

All pros have expired over the last 6 months. I was loyal to the end to this firm, now looking elsewhere. (Don’t read this as a I am some sort of a pissed employee about a bonus or something; I actually don’t care about the money).

Cons

Politically driven management, caring more about looking good to their boss than doing what is good for the firm. This used to be an amazing place to work. As returns have been great, the firm started to aggressively expand. However, instead of hiring brilliant engineers (or promoting existing ones), the firm decided to hire managers. These managers have created an environment where kissing a** and saying “what sounds good” instead of driving ideas / initiatives to improve the products. Seems like the goal is for these managers to make as much money as possible (via bonuses) while the iron is still hot.

Pros

Unlike a bank, the engineers here really know what they're doing and talking about. Managers are very, very technical and involved. Engineers are very collaborative and open to helping. Amazing benefits in the office (free daily breakfast and occasional lunches and free-flow snacks and drinks). Amazing health benefits too. Great compensation.

Cons

None at this moment that I can think of.
