Pros: Very good work-life balance. Most managers are understanding. Competitive salary.

Cons: Growth can stagnate a bit. Depending on your team, the technologies you use can be outdated. Things move generally a bit too slowly.

Pros: - 3 days in office hybrid. - People are generally nice to work with. - Good compensation. - The company is pushing towards a unified CI/CD pipeline (in C++ and in Python). Most of the teams are already on it, and standardization is ongoing. - The company is in a stable financial position and, as a private company, it is doubtful there would be mass layoffs at any point. - The profits are mostly redistributed to charities. - The company encourages volunteering. - Good career opportunities - the company encourages going into leadership, but also expanding horizontally (upskilling, improving impact as an IC). - Good learning opportunities - frequent courses are done by Bloomberg and external teachers. - It is expanding self-serve DB / Message queuing / Redis, etc. capabilities - no need to get through much red tape if you need to set something up quickly.

Cons: - 3 days in office hybrid - A lot of legacy code depending on the team - Depending on the team, no client communication - 9 to 6 workday - Most of engineering are on on-call rotation
