Good to start your career, but don't get stuck there

Senior software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

-Its all about looks here. Everything in the company is shiny and bright. -Perks used to be very good but most of them have been removed

Cons

-Almost no growth potential. -Impossible to get into management unless you are blessed by folks who have been there for over 20 years. -No work life balance. You will have to take support calls after midnight, about 2-3 times a week. -The skills you acquire here are of very little use outside. -Join only if you are very political and want to work there more than 2 decades.

Pros

Lots of exiting things to do and interesting projects to work on. News, data, analytics, messaging, risk, trading systems, electronic trading, etc. The list goes on and on.

Cons

Management can be arrogant. This would not be a problem if they had the expertise to back it up, but often they do not. There is a lot of resistance to taking the steps necessary to fix big problems. They prefer hacks and work arounds.
