Pros

Generous benefits, salary, bonus, good people if you are lucky not to end up with a bad boss.

Cons

Cost cutting seems to be going overboard.. Second layoff cutting down more than 5% of the workforce second time in 9 months is excessive.

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.
