Pros

They bought us, and bonuses increased in really impressive matters, they where very professional. They decided to close the branch, but they did it in such a respectful way with crazy amount of benefits including personal mentors and few salaries, they even made us goodbye party. I really left in good feelings

Cons

They fired us all, so yes. Sometimes they where too much corporate, middle management was average at best

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.
