Pros

- good pay/bonus - great benefits - hybrid (for now)

Cons

- red tape; conservative approach to everything. Not for those that want to be agile/innovative - hybrid model is there for certain groups, but it seems against management's will. Would not be surprised if that pulled from people soon. - dry environment All in all, a great place to cash a check from, but not a place you'll be necessarily proud to work

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.
