Pros

Great people in the software and financial engineering side. Good documentation Good work life balance Casual attire Some traveling

Cons

People with no financial or software development knowledge have recently been assigned senior management positions. They are making very poor decisions and alienating the employees. This new management has created a poisonous environment and many good people have left Algo in the recent couple of years.
