Pros

* Well paid, good bonuses and rises * Engineering focused company with lots of smart people who love C++ * Lots of free food and drinks etc.

Cons

* Some roles are a lot more interesting than others. I was in a boring role maintaining an ancient and horrific javascript code base * Too many Bloomberg specific frameworks and tech with not good enough docs or guides. * Standard work day is 8.30 to 6.30, The last hour and a half of every day my brain just checked out and I would sit staring at the clock because the day was so long.
