Pros: Nice snack bar, not too much overtime. Easygoing management style. Lots of events going on. They have great benefit packages.

Cons: R&D is not treated too well, sometimes being pushed around. Salary is not so high, especially for senior hires. Don't have too many promotion opportunities; you may get one after 5-6 years.

Pros: Friendly and approachable peers and managers. Care about training their developers in new technologies.

Cons: Unconventional technology stack with lots of in-house software (although this is changing). Fairly large organization, so things can move a little slow.

Pros: - Free "sneaks" (but the selection has become worse) - Nice office building in a good location - More stable than investment banks and other financial service firms

Cons: - No privacy in the office. - Small desk, no cubicle. - Cost cutting: benefits have been reduced year over year and are getting worse. - Slow growth. - No more free medical insurance. It used to be free, but now the company charges insurance premiums. - High turnover. Many people leave within 2 years or less. - Very political place, very hard to get things done. Senior management does not want to take risks by investing in new projects. - Flat structure, hard to grow. - Long working hours. - Below market average compensation.
