Pros

PTO Days Work life balance Benefits There are a couple really nice directors that are patient and funny and helped me learn my job

Cons

Toxic department Constant turnover, over 13 last year left This department is very toxic, highly corporate with the examiners/auditors constantly quitting and management doesn't seem to care, they just get someone else out of school to underpay and take their place. Highly clicky and gossipy and immature They are beholden to their shareholders and will put that above anything. As I saw in someone else's recent review their is one director that is very mean and has made people cry and some quit. I had to do a variety of things not in my job description, not even close to what is reasonable My coworker was picked on and pushed out because people didn't seem to like her even though she was nice just didn't fit in to their ideals. And was in a group that did not want her to succeed No flexibility in work hours or time off to go to appointments (unless your management) Very old school

Pros

- Friendly working environment. - Slow-paced and relaxed. - Opportunity to work on high-impact financial software. Quite useful if you want to get into a trading firm later on.

Cons

- Limited skill growth capability (tools are severely locked down, etc) - Work life balance can be shaky sometimes since systems fail after 5pm, weekend, etc. - Documentation is terribly organized. - Not enough focus on engineering culture. Overall probably not the best place to stick around if you like exploring new skills, building from the ground up, taking ownership etc.
