      Pros

      Always has the latest technologies. They paid well at the time.

      Cons

      The company was a great place to work at before 2009,. Once new management came in they started to do mass layoffs. Laid off key employees that were responsible for high end systems and proprietary systems creating huge gaps. The new management is not aware of what the person that was let go was responsible for. Seems to be interested in the bottom dollar or what salaries were being made.

      Pros

      Interesting technology & good projects. Exciting to see what you do make a difference in the global economy. Compensation and benefits are good relative to most companies, although not always competitive with trading firms.

      Cons

      Seems like it has really gone downhill recently. Basically no respect for technology staff in the company and near constant reorganizations. Management has some long term plans but it isn't clear on how they will affect individuals especially in technology.

      Great if you have talent and want to coast, not so great if you want to advance and drive technical change

      Pros

      Benefits and salaries are above average. Work-life balance is good. Extensive use of open source and standard technologies. Some best practices including continuous integration. Locations convenient to train stations.

      Cons

      More demotions and layoffs than promotions the past few years. Arrogant senior management. Arcane business knowledge valued more highly than technical competence. Many manual processes that could easily be automated but are not. Many outdated legacy systems. Severe risk aversion that inhibits improvements. Locked-down computers. Big brother surveillance. Depressing office environment. Awful coffee. Low expectations for developer productivity.
