Pros

Huge emphasis on technology as a competitive edge makes it a great environment for an engineer working in finance. The company truly values its employees and it shows in a variety of ways. (i.e. gym, free food, professional growth opportunities). Work with some of the best people in the technology industry on a daily basis.

Cons

The company's rapid growth constantly stresses organizational processes. The selective interview process can be brutal.

Pros

This is a place that really cares about doing right by its employees. The perks are great and senior management is focused on the right things. There is definitely a culture of learning and a strong willingness by management to support experimentation and exploration -- feels rather unique for a finance firm.

Cons

Very time-consuming hiring process (on both the side of interviewers and interviewees). Not convinced it's as effective as it could be given the time investment.

Pros

I've been at more than a few companies and was initially skeptical, but TS is pretty fanstastic. It's an engineering place through and through. Almost everyone is a developer of one kind or another. The people are very smart across the board with some seriously high highs, the interactions between people are expected to be nice and open (and are -- no jerks allowed), the work is very interesting (lots of big problems to solve for sophisticated internal users in a very competitive space), opportunities for internal mobility are best I've seen by a margin, senior management are super smart, nice, and engaged engineers. Big emphasis on community and internal learning and networking, regular hackathons, talks/presentations/study groups/etc all the time, by both internal and external people. Opportunities for OSS contribution, room to experiment.. And in the middle of NYC. Hard to beat.

Cons

I've been here a year and it's hard to think of many cons. Interview process is tough to pass. It's typically far from rigid environment and there are lots of opportunities, so being a self-starter and self-motivated is pretty much a must.
