Pros

Tech stack is modern and evolving.

Good opportunities to learn if you're junior. AppDev teams may be responsible for DevOps and SRE as well.

No stack rankings.

Promotion is reasonably easier with proper visibility and performance.

Good WLB if you prioritize it.

Easy to coast if you're near retirement.

Good people. OK culture.

Cons

• Hard to get people to work together towards a common goal due to the scale of the organization. • Need to invest more focus into building large-scale, robust systems and libraries used across the firm, instead of teams re-inventing the wheel. • Pay is low compared to tech companies, but relative to most, it's not bad. • Typical corporate bureaucracy. • Lots of busy work due to compliance that stifles progress towards building valuable products for our clients. • Constant re-shuffling of leadership.
