      Pros

      Good place to work. Dept. where I worked is very laid back. Seem more willing than usual to embrace new technology and encourage software engineering best practices. Compensation seems competitive. QA is a pleasure to work with.

      Cons

      Like any large corporation, there's lots of red tape and bureaucracy in between you and getting your job done. Politics and personality defects sometimes get in the way of good software engineering. It is a fight to get open-source solutions approved.

      Business outlook

      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.
