Pros

Incredible benefits, can work from home, tons of time off, and great place to learn. Would definitely suggest accepting an offer here if considering.

Cons

No cons. I would definitely suggest accepting an offer here if considering, especially if you have any interest in fintech.

Pros

Reasonable salary, good benefits. Best working like balance There are exceptional teams free from the blow 'cons'

Cons

Monopolist in the market that doesn't bother cutting many incompetent people on the payroll . Lots of talents left recent years. Prepare for ' world-class' bureaucracy and 'industry-leading' politics. You'd be lucky if you have a boss who understands your work and cares about you, and the chance of so is decreasing as these people are leaving. Your boss is most likely only pretending to be knowledgeable to backup his/her micro-management, and has no interest in recognizing who're the actual performers among the astonishing number of free riders who probably are better paid than you. He cares about his next promotion even it means cutting promising projects. You and your boss aren't the same team, you are two professionals who takes care of your own career. All Job Descriptions in the job market are somewhat painted but here it can get extreme. Hiring Masters from Ivy-like schools and leaving them with literally no intellectually challenging work is not uncommon. This company can afford. Years later real talents either leave or can no longer find jobs matching their current rank & salary elsewhere because in other places you actually need to Do things. If your boss comes from the later group then re-consider your career when you still can

Pros

Decent work/life balance, benefits are not terrible. Well respected company.

Cons

Supposedly pay is average relative to the industry, unless you started your career here in which case you are paid 10-20% less than others doing the same thing who came from other companies. You have to leave to get paid fairly. Firm keeps cutting more and more benefits Bonus calculations are opaque and it seems the company uses this to smooth earnings
