Pros

Lots of transitions in the last 3 years, creates opportunities, for those agile enough to react. Growing global footprint creates unique avenues of growth.

Cons

Past few years have lacked focus, that maybe improving with recent management. Better balance between governance and innovation needs to be achieved

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.
