Pros

They try to do some fun things to boost morale. Free snacks and soda.

Cons

The pay is not competitive and the benefits not as good as in other places. Being a couple years away from an IPO for 10 years is discouraging. I do not recommend Vestmark for software engineers since the technologies and coding practices are circa 2001, which has created a bloated codebase that is tedious to maintain. Unfortunately you won't learn anything useful, or work with newer technologies, because there is just too much invested in their aging tech infrastructure. You will spend a lot of time learning their many home brewed frameworks that are unfortunately not documented.
