Pros

Typically respectful of time outside of 8:30/9-5, M-F 23 PTO days per year Usually WFH availability once every couple weeks or every week based on team Good compensation for a job with good work life balance

Cons

Many developers not working on current/exciting tech Some developers barely even doing development work Lots of tech support as a developer Slow upward mobility Many young developers leave Big barriers to entry in terms of domain knowledge Low comp compared to others in the fintech space (those typically have worse work life balance situations though)
