Pros

Strong culture with competent people who have passion for what they do. Good pay, bonus and equity. Good work life balance. Many people have kids and the company is very supportive towards that. It's always possible to work from home or to leave early if needed. Many of senior management (e.g. president, CCO) are terrific people, not only on a professional level but also on a personal level. They set the example for a respectful and supportive culture.

Cons

New developments go slowly. You need to have patience if you want to implement change.

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.
