Pros

The quality of work is good. You work with some good people. The benefits are great. Major medical and dental are second to none. The profit sharing is and added value. Pensions don't exist these days. The teamwork with NY is generally very good.

Cons

Management tends to focus on corporate more than the New York location. Promotions are far and few. Career delopment is half sighted especially in New York Ofice. The New York office finds out last about any initiatives. Feel disconnected from corporate most of the time. The communication is just bad from corporate to other locations. Employees are not valued.

Pros

Strong engineering culture with exposure to large-scale financial systems, distributed architecture, and production-critical platforms. Good opportunities to learn modern cloud, performance, and reliability engineering.

Cons

Bureaucracy and internal politics can sometimes outweigh technical merit. Employees who take ownership or challenge inefficiencies may face delayed recognition, unclear growth paths, and shifting expectations, leading to frustration and disengagement over time.
