Pros

smart people, nice perks( food, benefits, building, access to bloomberg terminal), ownership of software, access to training materials and courses

Cons

Expectation of long hours, software is rushed out with many faults and developers expected to fix them immediately (i.e. middle of the night), disjointed software infrastructure, bad software process, disorganized midlevel management.. Support functions minimal ( no test teams, HR is not responsive, enterprise software is frequently confusing)
