Pros

Friendly people, growing profitable company. Perks such as free lunch & sodas & snacks. CFA sponsorship. Management is getting better with communicating with entire company.

Cons

Management is comprised chiefly of frat-boy Boy's Club. "Quiet" layoffs (er, positions eliminated) are somewhat un-nerving when one day someone just isn't at work anymore. Most of the hiring these days seems to be in third-world countries.

Pros

Great work/life balance, but expect to work hard. Good team dynamics and open communications.

Cons

Expect a reorg with cuts every 3 years or so. Resource prioritization often seems more tied to messaging value than actual value. Struggling to find a place in the FinTech ecosystem as it's not a giant like LSEG nor Bloomberg, but also not as focused and agile as small competitors.
