Pros

The Benefits are top notch.; and the actual work is interesting. The products touch or everyday lives. For example gas prices and food prices.

Cons

Not much opportunity for promotion, but that is because the stability that is required for this business precludes too much independence from “how things are done”

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.
