Pros
Remote, multiple OS shop, with a relatively modern back end setup, postgres
Cons
Very conservative and an old boys' club. Tons of "processes" because the banking business is regulated within an inch of its life. The workflow being worked on is novel in its ability to be slow, unreliable, and incredibly unstable. For the basic "tweak some things" workflow that used to take a couple minutes, getting set up takes something to the tune of 40 minutes now. When it works. When it doesn't, it impedes work to the point that it was visible in commit/merge request metrics. The "hardly works" product interacts poorly with work life balance. Finxact takes great pride in being nominally a "startup." Joking about "8 hours of zoom meetings a day, and then when they were over, the real work could begin" is a bad look. Previously working at FiS or being an employee's relative is a sure path to being hired. All of our interns were employees' relatives.
