Pros

* GC * pay, bonuses, benefits * Tech is somewhat better than the tech used by banks in NYC

Cons

* Top heavy, team leads make all design and key product decisions, programmers are just code monkeys. * Internal job switch process is not transparent and honestly silly (teams looking to hire will insist on interviewing you inspite of you having worked with similar tech for 4+ years) * Some teams require you to come in at 9. Leave early will raise eyebrows, you are required to put in at least 10 hours, can easily go upto 12.
