Pros

The pay is decent, and the workload is very manageable.

Cons

This department has a lot of favoritism and people get treated unequally. Poor management. Nobody says anything about it because they are afraid, but everyone who is not apart of the favorited few are aware of what's going on. Usually people just leave for other jobs and don't look back. Human resources doesn't do anything when you report issues to them. They pretend to conduct investigations, but they are just checking boxes so they don't get sued because due to questionable behavior from management. Human resources is very active in this reviews section trying to artificially inflate the company's ratings, and yet the rating is still low. This says a lot about this company.

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.
