Pros: I'm on a product that impacts many clients. As a result, there's always lots of work to do, from implementing new features to optimizing performance. My team almost feels like a startup, in that each person's contributions are valued and needed.

Cons: As the product I work on is already pretty mature, the features I work on sometimes feel like micro-optimizations to an already very stable product. I would like to see more analytics from features we ship, and would like to be more involved in what we do with such feedback. It seems like we never look back, and even if we create a feature that isn't used, we never seem to ask why. We always have tight deadlines ahead of us, and so implementing these new features takes priority. Sometimes I wonder what the product vision is.

Pros: Well-organized training form. Good pantry. Fresh food and free coffee. Fast-paced working style is pretty Wall Street style. Expanding firm.

Cons: Some fields touch really old Fortran code, and most of the positions have very limited opportunity to face clients.

Pros: Good work environment. Variety of work available for engineers, and switching internally is not frowned upon.

Cons: Aging tech stack and some teams can be sleepy.
