Pros

The quality of work is good. You work with some good people. The benefits are great. Major medical and dental are second to none. The profit sharing is and added value. Pensions don't exist these days. The teamwork with NY is generally very good.

Cons

Management tends to focus on corporate more than the New York location. Promotions are far and few. Career delopment is half sighted especially in New York Ofice. The New York office finds out last about any initiatives. Feel disconnected from corporate most of the time. The communication is just bad from corporate to other locations. Employees are not valued.

Pros

- Friendly working environment. - Slow-paced and relaxed. - Opportunity to work on high-impact financial software. Quite useful if you want to get into a trading firm later on.

Cons

- Limited skill growth capability (tools are severely locked down, etc) - Work life balance can be shaky sometimes since systems fail after 5pm, weekend, etc. - Documentation is terribly organized. - Not enough focus on engineering culture. Overall probably not the best place to stick around if you like exploring new skills, building from the ground up, taking ownership etc.
