Pros

Everything is team-dependent.

Pay, work ethics, quality of work, etc.

In general, pay will be good in any team.

If you are in a relatively new team, then you may be using C++ and somewhat latest technologies.

Cons

Most teams will not tolerate tardiness and late arrivals; however, late departures are always welcome here (in fact, much needed).

Fortran and really old technologies are still prevalent in some teams. If you work there for 4 years, you are rendered almost useless for any other company.

Things are changing, though, and it's much better.

There is definitely a lot of politics, which is not obvious to leaf nodes.

Advice to Management

Less politics. If 10B is a dream, then please make it 9B or 8B for all those hard-workers who have been chasing it. (10B is the revenue that Bloomberg targets)
