Pros

No pros as such for development job Interview would be the best, high level question would be asked from; DS: Linked list manipulation, Array Design pattern and your project question

Cons

this list is short for cons, there are many. 1) Management think Developers as machines, just work and work and work. 2) Lot of pressure, developer will get the prod issue directly without any QA or support team analysis. Do analysis, do fix and do dev test everything by your own. 3) Looks like a product base but not a product base, full service base like environment, small mistake and will be raised directly to the head manager from onsite team. 4) Interview will be taken for Developer role, but work is inside is more for dev ops or dev support. A developer will not write a single piece of code, it is very rare. 5) Domain is very important here, but domain KT is not, even after 1 year you won't get any KT, but expectation is that you should have full knowledge of whole project. 6) for work life balance, okay okay, not that much good.

Pros

Good starting salary and benefits package.

Cons

The longer you’re there, the more of an expectation that you work more for the same or less income. Producers find it hard to justify staying when leadership keeps moving the goal posts on how to increase income. No rhyme or reason as to how they decide “promotions.” One advisor might have one good year and get promoted over an advisor that produces year in and year out. They fail to share revenue because they’d have a hard time justifying the income level compared to outside advisors with a fraction of the book size. They claim and depend on brand recognition to justify a capped income but fail, or just won’t admit that is why they keep losing their top talent. Operations is a nightmare that I can’t even begin to describe. When I share the processes that have been in place for over a decade, colleagues in the industry shake their head and laugh. They can’t believe we earn and keep business. The saying while I was there was “the biggest threat we face is that TIAA clients start to explore their options outside of TIAA.”
