Pros

Benefits are great:health, dental, 401ks and pension plan, vacation time is good also-goes according to your years of service.

Cons

Management can be incompetent--particularly managment at the floor operations level. Review system is ridiculous-almost have to walk on water to recieve a 3 out of 5 on rating system.

Pros

Strong engineering culture with exposure to large-scale financial systems, distributed architecture, and production-critical platforms. Good opportunities to learn modern cloud, performance, and reliability engineering.

Cons

Bureaucracy and internal politics can sometimes outweigh technical merit. Employees who take ownership or challenge inefficiencies may face delayed recognition, unclear growth paths, and shifting expectations, leading to frustration and disengagement over time.
