Pros

Great benefits:

  • Bonus
  • Internal stock
  • Profit sharing
  • 401k match

Nice people to work with. Good technologies. Work in the financial industry. Good company culture.

Cons

Hardworking but low efficiency. I spent a lot of time getting other departments to do work that we could have otherwise done ourselves, much better and faster.

Advice to Management

The company has strong specialty technology teams, such as the database team and the web service team, which provide great expert-level help. On the other hand, their staffing bottleneck and regulations make it very hard to get jobs done.
