very few, benefits are pretty much the only thing nice about this company. Even vacation time is not too great.

Cons

no room for promotion at all. Management totally incompetent. very hard to learn new things. People don't feel like sharing their knowledge. Lots of favoritism.

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.
