Pros

Great building, competitive salary, excellent benefits package, multi-cultural environment. If you are fresh from college, have no work experience, or would like to find someone to date, an excellent place to work! Unlikely to get fired for any reason. Free food. Really high turnover, so you may get a sales job even if you were a programmer.

Cons

The technology is ancient (the majority). A lot of programmers are simply maintaining legacy code (fortran, c) that cannot be retired or converted. The company also uses a TON of proprietary software, all developed in-house. For example, they've created their own Service oriented architecture (ala WSDL), two home-grown databases, entire UI framework, and other things.

Pros

Very open environment. Very good place to start a career in finance especially when you dont have background in financial industry.

Cons

It is not a bank or investment firm. So, don't expect any front office exposure. Be prepared to work in technologies that may sound obsolete elsewhere. Be prepared for a deadline that is every other week.
