Pros: Very nice financial company. Job secured, as long as performance is satisfied.

Cons: Sometimes, it could be very busy.

Pros: Have a chance to code financial applications. Big company opportunity to learn.

Cons: legacy technology, company unique technology

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'.
