Pros

Always has the latest technologies. They paid well at the time.

Cons

The company was a great place to work at before 2009,. Once new management came in they started to do mass layoffs. Laid off key employees that were responsible for high end systems and proprietary systems creating huge gaps. The new management is not aware of what the person that was let go was responsible for. Seems to be interested in the bottom dollar or what salaries were being made.

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.
