Pros

Fairly good pay and benefits, but it would have to be in NYC 4 weeks vacation Learning the Bloomberg terminal and APIs could help you find a good job someday

Cons

Awful code is the norm and nobody seems to care 17 inch monitors everybody is long on excuses for problems, short on solutions ridiculous cramped noisy work environment

Pros

- smart colleagues and team leads - decent salary & compensation - lots of good technical practices like emphasis on code quality, issue tracking (but depends on the team vastly) - lots of good organizational practices like reimbursement for tuitions, on-site fitness coach, etc. - lots of interactions with business & other eng teams to grow your communication skills

Cons

It was very bureaucratic when it came to taking care of their employees. I applied for a course in a university with their tuition aid. However, when I left, the HR asked me to pay back the full amount since I left within a year. I understand that it was in the policy, but the course was directly related to our work and I did apply what I have learned. It was also not like I left immediately after the course (> 8 months). I felt they could have been more generous to their employees. There were also numerous other cases like they declined my WFH requests when I needed to go back to my country and vote. I also think the tech stack they used is very outdated. Their frameworks and tools (DBMS, deployment tool, etc.) were almost all proprietary. I did not notice how undesirable my skillset was, until I returned to the job market. I would not recommend any engineer who values their career path to stay there for very long.

Pros

You will learn a lot about the capital market and trade life cycle.

Cons

Manager like a school head teacher. Watching every time you get out of your seat. Even sending you messages when you go to toilet "Where are you?". No transparency in career progression. You will feel forgotten after a while. Many many many promises of career progression broken.
