Pros

Great salary and benefits. Work-life balance was excellent. Was treated with a lot of respect and met a lot of brilliant people. The terminal is a killer product. If you're providing value, your career will be advanced and you will be rewarded. They definitely want to keep their employees happy. If you join the right team, you will be very happy here. I liked the company a lot more than I liked my day-to-day work.

Cons

Technology can be very stale. A lot of teams are stuck in the mud with no clear path to escaping their tech debt. The training class is a drag. A lot of employees feel like they've checked out and don't have much interest in learning new things, so it can be difficult to move things along.

Advice to Management

Revamp the training program. The way you gather feedback about it doesn't actually promote real discussion about the serious problems with it.
