Pros

The content of the role was interesting.

Cons

Very poor, toxic culture. Some senior managers have reached a certain level without having the necessary experience or qualifications for these specific roles. Micromanagement is encouraged. Promotions are few and far between.

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.
