Pros

People, cool office, lots of IT resources.

Cons

Stale top management (c-suite) who constantly asks for feedback but does nothing about it. Flip flops on policies. Cares significantly more about shareholders than stakeholders. Low pay and trivial raises. Hard to advance since a smaller company compared to other financial services firms.

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.
