Pros

Gained great exposure across the company within my role, and amongst our customer base. Was apart of exciting tasks and projects and the fast pace kept me on my toes. Worked with a great team and felt appreciated for my work and effort that I put in.

Cons

Upward advancement can be tough depending on where you are in the company, along with dealing with lots of politics and cliques amongst divisions and colleagues. Some people's behavior reminded me of high school. If you can avoid the drama as much as possible, your day will flow much smoother.

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.
