Pros

Awesome work life balance, great compensation, and lots of opportunity for development and growth. Most of the people are friendly and pleasant to work with.

Cons

Bureaucracy can be a bit frustrating at times. However, it is a financial services company and this is pretty standard.

Pros

You can move around every 2 years if you want to. If you're a network person, you can gain a lot from this place.

Cons

It's a people-based workplace and compensation is pretty flat across the board. At the end of the day, performance doesn't quite matter as much as it should.
