Pros

People were friendly, felt like a family. As long as you were in a position/team that you delivered on (contributed), things were good. The tough part is if you want to move up, you have to find other opportunities outside of your team.

Cons

1) You could be in the same position for many years. 2) Moving around to other departments could be a suicide mission. If you were not doing so well in a group/team. Then you easily face being let go. Luckily they offer the chance to move around. But if you are in the middle of a big Reorg, chances for finding a new team could run out fast.

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.
