Pros

The benefits are very generous and flexible. The office is relatively laid back. Most work can be completed easily during the day

Cons

There is a bizarre secrecy within the Investigations department, no one seems to trust each other. More importantly though, much of the work is unchallenging and easily automated. Very high turnover from people leaving to do the same work for more money at other regulatory agencies, and those that stay becoming the middle management because of seniority. Little effort from top management to help control for culture which is important with so much turnover.

Pros

- Friendly working environment. - Slow-paced and relaxed. - Opportunity to work on high-impact financial software. Quite useful if you want to get into a trading firm later on.

Cons

- Limited skill growth capability (tools are severely locked down, etc) - Work life balance can be shaky sometimes since systems fail after 5pm, weekend, etc. - Documentation is terribly organized. - Not enough focus on engineering culture. Overall probably not the best place to stick around if you like exploring new skills, building from the ground up, taking ownership etc.
