Pros

It has a laid back atmosphere and the people that I work with are great.

Cons

Not enough recognition. You could work hard, show up on time, never call out, and do everything like you're supposed to do, and you still won't get promoted over someone who has been there longer (even if they are late and sit on the internet for most of the day).

Pros

It's a decent place to start in gaining professional experience and the people are enjoyable to work with on the whole.

Cons

The requirements for time and job and the overall interview process make it extremely difficult to move elsewhere and extremely easy for it's employees to become complacent and avoid any future challenges. Additionally, the inflexible environment regarding process improvement removes any motivation to maintain a focus on the ability to innovate and improve.

Pros

Part of the solution of the financial industry. What they do really makes employees feel like they are part of the solution and not the problem. Also the work is really good for new technical employees in order to get your feet wet. You'll get access to large databases, large applications, and other great toys to start your carrer.

Cons

Bad salaries, and at times really buracratic. My manager was great, but his manager wasn't as okay. So the leadership on that level is really hit or miss depending on who he/she is rather than the department that they are in.
