Pros

Good benefits, good people, good management, good diversity. My work was greatly appreciated and I was well compensated.

Cons

Work life balance is lacking. It is a high pressure environment with software uptime a top, top priority.

Pros

Innovative product offerings, competitive edge, great benefits.

Cons

- Unlike rest of the tech industry, basic management skills(coordination, organizing meetings, follow-ups) are deemed acceptable to be a technology leader. This creates dissatisfaction among tech employees and limits future innovation. - When someone leaves the team/company, managers don't explore the option to fill the spot with a suitable match by looking outside of the team/company. They lean towards promoting an existing team member, even if they are not a good fit. This shortsightedness has long term side effects. - Random promotions without a logic are common, especially within the Trade Execution group. Promotions should be based on a standard criteria(skills, experience, feedback) to determine readiness, and the same criteria should apply to everyone in all the cases.
