Pros

Working with cutting edge technology on challenging projects. Never being complacent and always being on your toes. Customers Mean Everything!

Cons

Too much politics and favoritism. People are more interested in oneupmanship than actually getting any work done. Hard work should be recognized and rewarded appropriately.

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.
