      Pros

      Great benefits, location and pay. The technical work is very interesting at the scale they operate. They have an excellent approach to career management and HR.

      Cons

      There is a lot of legacy software and tech debt that they can be risk-averse to address. Certain teams are better than others in this regard.

      Pros

      good benefits and nice people to work with.

      Cons

      Promotions are very hard to get compared to other technology companies, HR department is cloudless of how promotions work and they are very defensive, very hard to maybe impossible to transfer from a team to another team within finance. Too many systems used and almost all of them do not speak to each other and very bad interfaces which is very bad for a technology company.
