Pros

Good compensation, good benefit, pretty decent work/life balance

Cons

Office politics. Completely depends on whether the manager likes you or not, if they like you. you can do no wrong. if they don't you are screwed, even if you do the exact same thing as the other guy/gal. he/she can get a pass, you will be put on performance review.

Pros

Strong engineering culture with exposure to large-scale financial systems, distributed architecture, and production-critical platforms. Good opportunities to learn modern cloud, performance, and reliability engineering.

Cons

Bureaucracy and internal politics can sometimes outweigh technical merit. Employees who take ownership or challenge inefficiencies may face delayed recognition, unclear growth paths, and shifting expectations, leading to frustration and disengagement over time.
