Pros: Task-oriented. Less politics. People support each other.

Cons: Growth, Private Company (so not stocks), still some proprietary tech.

Pros: Good software practices, large diversity of teams and products, and great perks for a financial company.

Cons: A lot of old, legacy code, which moves slowly.

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.
