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.

Pros: One of the major pros is that you get to own projects, regardless of whether you are considered 'management'. That certainly makes things exciting.

Cons: Almost all the focus is on getting stuff out there 'fast!' Good coding style and good software design aren't as important. While that may work in the short run, in the long run it causes a lot of headaches in terms of software maintenance. But the management doesn't care about that. They just want you to churn more software out, as fast as you can. And of course, there is nothing called 'testing'. It's the developer's job, of course. And you still have to get things out there 'in time'.

Pros: Great atmosphere, wonderful people, excellent perks. Very good training program for fresh recruits to catch up to company operations standards.

Cons: As with most of the financial-tech space, much of the tech stack is quite outdated, and imbuing any new ones takes time. They become quite mature or even outdated by the time they're part of the workflow.
