Pros

The pay is highly competitive and the benefits are excellent. They hire smart people. They are innovative. They try to stay ahead of the competition.

Cons

Work life balance, though they preach it, is still a problem especially in light of the staff reductions in the last year.

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.
