Pros

The company values the employees a lot. There are a lot of opportunities to learn and build your skills, be it in the finance sector or in the programming side. The management is very helpful and encourages the employees to learn. To give an example, those who join the company from a non-computer science background, are give 16 weeks of amazing training on Unix, C and C++.

Cons

The compensation is bellow average, specially for an insanely expensive city like NYC.

Pros

Pantry, seeing and meeting people due to the special "design" of the work environment, sunlight in the buildings, good work-life balance. Good opportunities to make impact with your work and get to know many people, but don't expect your good work and sweat to get you a promotion or anywhere meaningful.

Cons

Certainly not a place to have a career. Flat organizational structure has its pros and cons. Culture can be very petty. They promote "lifers" to managerial positions, some of whom are seriously not employable elsewhere. Great place to work right out of college, but not after 30. Pay is not very competitive, but they will pay more to someone else to do the same job when hiring from outside. Once you're in the company, you virtually have no place for negotiating salary unless you have an offer from somewhere else. Once you resign, you need to vacate the premises immediately after HR interview which appears to be about checking boxes and more employee surveys.
