Pros

Strong culture with competent people who have passion for what they do. Good pay, bonus and equity. Good work life balance. Many people have kids and the company is very supportive towards that. It's always possible to work from home or to leave early if needed. Many of senior management (e.g. president, CCO) are terrific people, not only on a professional level but also on a personal level. They set the example for a respectful and supportive culture.

Cons

New developments go slowly. You need to have patience if you want to implement change.

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.
