Pros

Good salary. Nice building. Friendly colleagues (for the most part). Free snacks. Open communication.

Cons

You don't know what the REAL project requirements are until they are 3 days from due. Have to work with stupid financial market conventions that make no sense. The code written here is terrible, and nobody have the time to police it.

Pros

- Good take-home salary - Open door policy (no one has a room of his/her own) - all managers, team members are easy to approach - Out-of-the box solutions are encouraged and respected - Company does a yearly Summer Picnic (which is good fun if you have a family and kids) - The company has a lot of crebility in the financial circles so you get listened to - Recently made good progress on developing Career Paths (but its still very early) - Good philanthropy & community building efforts - Good training programs

Cons

- Although there is free food, a lot of it is junk - All new hires are treated as if they were fresh grads which is annoying for experienced professionals - Career path is still vague for more than 90% of the roles ... everyone usually ends up wanting to go into sales - Although the compensation is good, the increaments are really poor for certain groups, like data teams ... there is a clear divide between teams when it comes to increaments ... also there is no discussion about your increament, you either take it or shut up and take it - working hours are 10 hours a day - Employee Evaluations are archaic and sometimes dont even matter in your progress/compensation - Middle Managers are not very good, when it comes to distributing work loads, fighting for your compensations, etc ... although they deny it, there is a huge case of favorism with some managers
