Business outlook
Pros
Exposure to a large array of technology, great challenges and room to grow.
Cons
Terrible hours, expectations that you're available 7 days a week, no room for error or learning from mistakes, pushy, demanding management. All of the challenges of working at a startup, in terms of fast pace, quick pivots, and varying types and intensities of workload from day to day... Yet it still maintains the top-down, micro-managed corporate structure of a large bank where mistakes are punished brutally. At the same time, engineers are made to feel siloed and as though they're in competition with one another. No camaraderie. Your coworkers see you as a means to further their careers, or a stepping stone/road block.
