Pros

If you feel the need to get a Big Name on your resume, like I did, you could hardly go wrong with this company.

There is an army of smart people working here.

Cons

Unfortunately, the business has accumulated incredible baggage around software development, and the byzantine terminal always yields less information than you would expect. It's a small wonder that any development takes place using those archaic systems.

Advice to Management

Complexity kills. This has been recognized in building a newer version of the terminal, but the core of the complexity process is still out there. The only way is to expose more of the data API, so smaller companies will consume them.
