Pros

The pay/bonuses are good - as is the flex time. We also are currently able to go in the office 2 days a week and WFH 3 days a week. Most of the people I work with are great and good team players.

Cons

The politics are very heavy here - worst I've seen in all my years working. Your political standing matters more than what you actually do. They also have too many workaholics, that expect the same of others. In my experience, workaholics are actually less productive.

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.
