Pros

* Generous PTO time * Generous benefits * In office breakfast * On the edge of AI adoption

Cons

* Constant revolving door of employees * Rife with internal politics * Senior Managers (head of a tech stream) who have little coding experience fire experienced engineers on whim. It takes long time for anyone to come in and get up to speed. All the while causing low employee morale * Comp fluctuates wildly from year to year. The amount promised to you when you join can be cut as much as 30 -40%.

Pros

- Good WLB, hybrid schedule - Plenty of PTO - Managers are generally good - good for engineers to rest or people with family

Cons

- This firm is not one of the top tier in terms of ability to make money - Firm performance is less than ideal, affecting bonus - Compensation is average, unstable bonus, affecting morale - some competent people have left due to compensation issues - quite high turnover contrary to what others think - finance firms hierarchy is very flat, you can be stuck at senior engineer for 10 years, not much career progression - lots of legacy systems that don’t make sense and needs to be rebuilt due to past mistakes made by people who already left (tons of resources wasted supporting these systems) - firm unable to attract talents due to average comp, thus unable to move forward quickly / strongly firm’s comp cannot match Big Tech
