Pros

Great culture, smart people, innovative and forward thinking company.

Cons

onboarding for external hires is cumbersome as the workstation is massive and takes quite a while to learn how to use. the team is spread across the country so it's tough to come in with 0 knowledge of the product. I will say the company is actively working on improving the onboarding and learning process.

Pros

work life balance is good

Cons

Salary ranges bit low relative to industry

Pros

Work life balance is great Free health insurance Trending in a positive direction – added more time off before I left

Cons

Salaries are probably median for tech – considering it's supposed to be a Bloomberg competitor, I would expect them to be above average Behind on tech industry trends – more like working for a bank than fintech Lots of bureaucracy to jump through. Can be very frustrating to try to get anything done. Career levels are pretty meaningless. I saw some jobs with no real meaning created pretty arbitrarily to "promote" people Legacy tech/product Some leadership/management who have seniority but not experience No bonuses for UX team – supremely undervalued at the company

Pros

Great culture, lots of training, management is approachable

Cons

There is no tangible executive vision,and engineering looks down on product causing a rift in culture
