Pros

- cash bonuses, bigger if you're on teams that make money for the company - nice location downtown - catered food in the office - diverse coworkers

Cons

- soulless mission that prioritizes money over everything else - large on-premise infrastructure because they're scared of utilizing the cloud across desks even though all the engineers clamor for it - infrastructure is viewed as a line item that costs the business money, not a potential revenue maker - ancient tech in parts of the infrastructure that make reliability & security kind of a joke.. where "best practices" and new ideas go to pasture - jockeying middle managers that don't care about you and your life outside of work - extremely limited internal mobility and career growth

Pros

DRW values my input and ideas, and allows me to explore new ways of conducting surveillance. The firm is not afraid to try things that may not work out in the end.

Cons

You have to have the confidence to push forward. People will help and guide you, but you must initiate the activity.
