Pros

Encourage you to empower yourself, take ownership and make decisions Reward effort with bonuses and other money awards Great healthcare and benefits Great pension contribution schema Pay for training and conferences each year

Cons

I can't think of many cons. As with all large companies with a number of different locations and cultures, you will find a few difficult people at all levels, but these are very few. The company culture is good and the CEO is passionate on maintaining the right culture from the top down.

Pros

- Friendly working environment. - Slow-paced and relaxed. - Opportunity to work on high-impact financial software. Quite useful if you want to get into a trading firm later on.

Cons

- Limited skill growth capability (tools are severely locked down, etc) - Work life balance can be shaky sometimes since systems fail after 5pm, weekend, etc. - Documentation is terribly organized. - Not enough focus on engineering culture. Overall probably not the best place to stick around if you like exploring new skills, building from the ground up, taking ownership etc.
