Pros

Good benefits - flexibliltiy I had a good work life balance but limited upward mobility. If you are in products or operations there is more opportunity

Cons

Ok place to work- very siloed and not much opportunity across groups Very cliquey - there was still a strong holdover from the private pre-public days and lots of brash personalities

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.
