Pros: 1. Good compensation package 2. Up-to-date technologies 3. Very competent people; you always have somebody smarter and more experienced to learn from, if you both find a time for that. 4. Remote-first

Cons: 1. Since it's all around finances and banking, priorities are always changing. You need to fight for time on maintenance and tech debt. Comments in code review quite often are replied like, "I agree with you but no time to invest into that improvement." 2. The very fast pace and constant context switching not only take your energy but also make it harder to plan, design, and see the bigger picture. But, as I see, this depends more on the specific team.

Pros: • Strong culture of collaboration and knowledge sharing within the engineering team • Real engineering growth accelerator • Clear career progression path • Opportunities to lead projects and make technical decisions early on • Supportive management that values autonomy and trusts developers to own their work

Cons: - While work-life balance is generally good, peak delivery periods can become intense without enough planning.

Pros: Fully remote, flexible work hours, work abroad.

Cons: Sometimes confusing and slow HR team
