Pros

- junior hires given good load of responsibilities - salary and bonuses are good - free snacks (better than microsoft, worse than google) - satisfied customers (having worked at other companies, the high level of customer satisfaction is abnormal and deeply rewarding). - new york city is much more fun than san francisco, boston, or seattle, but that's just my opinion ;).

Cons

- no offices - time not as flexible as other tech companies - expected to be on call after hours. for IT/networking/systems people this may be normal, but as a software engineer, I was not used to this. - culture of kissing up to higher levels (worse than other tech companies, but better than most non-tech corporate environments). many superficial efforts are made to combat this, but it is still present - no company cafeteria leads most people to eat at their desks rather than with co-workers - no white boards (maybe that's a pro for some people).

Pros

Decent pay, the opportunity to interact with various market players, some training opportunities, bright colleagues, good vacation time, cool office

Cons

Incompetent immature managers, repetitive work, crushing volume, crumbling technology that you must struggle to master, the "knowledge" you gain revolves around bloomberg and has limited value outside the company, constantly changing management objectives seem like desperate gimmicks, endless frustrated dissatisfied clients, very few genuine growth opportunities
