Pros

Market leader, opportunity to impact or influence in many roles, pay is decent

Cons

Still evolving from a privately owned to a public traded company, highly political, human resources have no idea what they are doing, very very bad travel policy for a company that has over 50% profit margins (all employees required to stay at Club Quarters)

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.
