Pros: People are really smart and hard-working.

Cons: Nothing I can think of.

Pros: Pay is nice; work is interesting for some people.

Cons: Working hours are long; expect at least 50 per week.

Pros: Smart and helpful colleagues. Management with vision and determination. A fast-paced environment that allows you to see the impact of your work very quickly and be recognized and rewarded for it. Lots of learning opportunities and responsibilities, even at the junior levels. Catered food. The company has been more engaging with both employees and the community over the years through regular town halls and after-hour events. The responses to COVID-19, both in the US and abroad, have been swift and supportive. Lots of testing, planning, and provision of resources made WFH much easier and more productive.

Cons: A few things that are more of a culture issue in the finance industry that can turn software engineers off: * Somewhat long hours * A bit hard to raise a family (company policy has improved but still lagging behind some competitors) * Opaque and unbalanced compensation scheme
