Pros

Not bad salaries have bonuses, good technology stack

Cons

Managers are not very agile, people are not that professional, there is a lot of disorganization and a lot of stress all the time, not enough time to research or explore solutions just want everything to be quick and dirty.

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.
