Pros

Great work-life balance, great working environment, much more pleasant than in a bank. You might work on projects that will change the entire interbank transaction industry.

Cons

Current CEO is not very pro active or competent. The senior management is not as competent as you would expect from such a company.

Pros

Team and managers give enough time to settle down. Frequent team lunches and free juice, tea and coffee. Reasonable salary, Longer contracts.

Cons

1. Too much hierarchy and hard to break in groups - Some groups are highly unapproachable. 2. Many team members are unapproachable and hesitate to share knowledge, making it very difficult to work. 3. Too many meetings and time sheets. 4. No recognition for hard work. Contractors are given boring and routine tasks. 5. Some team members are highly influential and very difficult to convince with new ideas. 6. There are many groups where team members are around for ages. They hesitate to co-operate and help when inter group co-ordination is involved. 7. Contractors are made to run around asking for details and are not given any priority. They have to be self driven and are excluded from annual reviews and feedbacks. Contractors feel left out in day to day activities. 8. Teams make you feel that you are a contractor at every step. 9. Many projects you work here is not of much use outside, so keep updating your skills on daily basis!

Pros

Excellent Brand Recognition in the financial industry. Challenging work if you are in the core product group. Opportunity to learn and implement world class infrastructure products with a global footprint.The only company in the world to architect software and infrastructure for global resiliency , beats Google, Facebook and Amazon.

Cons

If you are not working for the group where the action is, opportunities are non existent. One group brings in 70% of the revenue, the rest are pretty much treated like baggage.
