Pros

Very fast paced environment. You are presented new challenges daily, and work with some of the best in the industry.

Cons

You have to play the politics game very well to succeed. Too much red tape hindering people's success and keeping them from reaching their fullest potential.

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.
