      Pros

      * Vibrant atmosphere. * As stable as it could get ...

      Cons

      * Legacy . monolithic codebase in C++ * As with any other company - politics comes on top than anything else. Projects are assigned to different teams based on the cost center locations

      Not a startup but somewhat startup'ish

      Pros

      No fixed time to be in the office by (depends on the workload). Some bright and experienced people to work with. Gaining experience at finance-related processes. Lots of young talent so if you are below 30 you will feel at home.

      Cons

      Very proprietary technology and software. Gained development experience may not necessary make you more marketable. Quite large amount of poorly written legacy code to maintain. Lots of processes to follow. Some long meetings feel unnecessary. At the same time, feels like a startup, somewhat disorganized inside. Frequent management changes, noticable politics. Compensation seems below average in the area.
