      Pros

      Most down to earth, relatable and competent CEO I've ever met. Great work / life balance (if you're in the right department) Access to as much professional development as you want. Tuition reimbursement Part of a 150+ year institution

      Cons

      Largest board of directors in the entire U.S., with an equally ridiculously large Management Team, leads to mind-numbing bureaucracy and red tape. History of being run by members / traders means there is less respect for sales and marketing functions. Politics. Politics. Politics.

      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.
