Pros

A technology company at heart that has leadership that gives employees freedom to innovate and flexibility to try new things, fail quickly and learn from those mistakes to release quality products in a fast paced environment. Very smart coworkers who, for the most part, are hardworking. A lot of opportunity for career advancement.

Cons

Lots of legacy systems from integrating multiple companies and systems that are slowly being phased out and consolidated.

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.
