Pros

Friendly coworkers who care and put up with an awful lot while only occasionally exploding in frustration.

Cons

European management is hyper political and seemingly duplicitous. New York culture disregards proper software engineering. Lots of red tape. Difficult to navigate. Politics and turf wars. Tactical noise. All true design and authority is in NY and London, but they will try to hide this when you are first hired. (I've worked elsewhere and the politics and deceit at DB was the worst)
