Pros

Provided a great potential for career development and financial market knowledge and relationship building especially for ambitious professionals who started before 2006. This is valid for Sales, Management and Product Development roles. Good equity share options - made sense for employees who joined before 06. Recognition based on achievement.

Cons

- Benefits (medical insurance, holidays, gym etc) - not good enough; - After 2008 - it become very political, administration and bureaucracy have increased tremendously - Freedom to be creative - decreased significantly after 08 - Not a great place for support staff - Random promotions - Lack of coordination between the various product groups - Unclear senior management policy regarding business development strategies - Carrer development potential for new hires - mainly for experienced professionals coming from competitors or Investment Banks but not so much for unexperienced graduates.

Pros

A technology company so far behind that there is always interesting projects going on. In the past year executive leadership seems to have some focus and it does not feel like organization ADD. Benefits are very competitive.

Cons

A very consistent pattern of RIF's every few months. It is interesting that it is not always the lower performers, be very careful expressing an opinion for progress to middle management or you will very likely find yourself on the next RIF list. This is a management team that thinks they know it all. There are very few examples of leaders in this group, most are bosses, will make sure to tell you how to do the job. If you are coming in make sure to get a very good understanding of the expectation of role and responsibilities. If you are skilled you will be taken advantage of and asked to contribute at higher grade levels but performance and advancement is very subjective and there is no transparency in organizations like IT about what it takes to move to next levels. Unless of course you are playing that middle management stroking feathers game right..
