Pros

Competent coworkers. Decent pay, Hybrid work schedule but please note each department is required a different amount of days in office.

Cons

The CEO makes jokes that are incredibly offensive and flaunts his biases even on all-hands calls. Open office layout on most floors in chicago. High pressure work environment. Very little room to grow in my department.

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.
