      Pros

      - Good WLB in engineering - Unlimited PTO, which is mostly respected in engineering teams

      Cons

      - Pay is embarrassingly low. Everyone knows it: HR, your colleagues, higher-ups. It affects motivation everywhere - why work hard if we're being massively underpaid? Associate/VP engineers make LESS than new grads at tech companies. Imagine that!

      Pros

      Lots of client exposure Learning unique products Aladdin

      Cons

      Too much politics in the team. Nobody stays for more than 2 years. Also they like you as long as you do their job. The moment you ask for a raise or a change they immediately intentionally make your life difficult
