Pros

work life balance is pretty good. compensation matches the fact that there is minimal night/weekend work and a pretty slow pace.

Cons

there is little change when change is clearly needed. employees are fleeing pretty much weekly. hr talks about improving the employee retention but nothing has been done. management is also sadly very weak. people-leaders aren't necessarily good at managing people, they've just lasted for a long time. there is little room for growth or opportunities across the 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.
