Pros

Smart and Friendly Colleagues Free Coffee

Cons

Staff overworked with mandatory Saturdays. Extremely undervalued, no raises and small bonus leading everyone to be unhappy and looking. Lacks organization and plans. Only good ideas are plagiarized and sold as own.

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.
