Pros

All the usual tech company perks (breakfast, lunch, snacks, coffee) Reasonable hours for finance in general Good compensation, with transparent performance based bonus system.

Cons

Hours could still be better, 8-5:30pm is pretty much the minimum expected for software devs, and it only gets worse. Compared to some other tech firms my peers are working for, that's pretty bad. Compared to other fintech firms my peers are working for, that's pretty good/on par
