Pros

Lunch & Transportation is provided. Workstation is good. Working hours are good. Company policies & principles are good.

Cons

Lot of politics from senior folks. Good work is not appreciated. No visibility if you're in SE level. If you know how to cope up with politics it will be good. Some of the Chicago folks doesn't treat the Bangalore folks well. Women employees are more preferred than their male counterpart.

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.
