Pros

Compensation is decent, the company offers nice benefits, the building is impressive and great to show off to others, free snacks are a great perk

Cons

Terrible place to work if you're interested in good software. If you're fortunate enough not to be working on Fortran or some really old crappy C code, you still have to put up with an infrastructure that is from the 90s, maintain some ugly patchwork code. Everything is run based on unreasonable demands from business folks who don't understand software and you are constantly writing band aid solutions and patching code. Your software engineering skills will suffer. Most of the management (on the tech side) doesn't know what it takes to be a good leader and is interested in hitting project deadlines dictated by the business at any cost without any regard for employee development. The only people who can be happy working there are people who started working there out of college, have only seen this culture, and are happy at being well compensated. You will not be happy if you've seen the world outside those glass walls. Do NOT go there as a senior engineer.

Pros

Good Health Benefits, You’ll be good friends with your hiring class, Snacks?

Cons

Yeah don’t let the snacks fool you. This is a place you don’t want too stay long. Most managers are narcissistic despite having zero skills. They love to gaslight you, play favorites, and talk down to you. Some of the worst communicators and leaders I’ve experienced in my career. If you don’t fit into the sorority/fraternity culture you’ll probably be pushed out in the near future. Continuously talk about DEI but they are anything but inclusive over here. If you’re a minority, work somewhere else. Not many mid career professionals remain because many realized you can work for other places in tech/finance and be treated like an actual adult + make more money. No real career progression once you become an AM. Many people swear this is a great place to work but have never worked anywhere else. Toxic Culture where managers pick scapegoats for when their team in performing poorly despite having a fake sales cycle/strategy. Clients will just reach when they want to add a Terminal or product. Sooner or later you going to start seeing more reviews like this.

Pros

There are not pros in this company.

Cons

- Ungrateful managers with bad attitude and inflated egos. - Managers care absolutely nothing about career advancement and have no idea how to do their jobs without micromanaging. - Very low standards and too many disgusting people. - You don't really get any skills here other than how to use the Bloomberg terminal. - Everyone here is constantly talking trash behind each other's backs. - No room for advancement , racism still in company, everyone only watch out for there own kind. - Avoid this place like cancer.
