      Good benefits Superb location downtown Chicago Good tech resources and training available

      Cons

      Closed rigid culture with very formal lines of communication Overly concerned with protocol and highly bureaucratic internal processes Performance evaluations are highly political, despite what’s initially communicated its difficult to advance, salaries stagnant, bonuses below target

      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.
