Pros

Lots of different tech to be exposed to, exciting financial knowledge to obtain.

Cons

Politics, like the Roman Republican Senate. Lack of good technical expertise at mid-level engineers. I've seen my fair share of NullPointerException and catching generic exceptions go through PRs.

Advice to Management

Hiring contractors on the other side of the world might reduce costs in the short term, but definitely not in the long term. Please invest more in a location or two and invest in expanding that team organically.
