Pros

Great atmosphere, wonderful people, excellent perks. Very good training program for fresh recruits to catch up to company operations standards.

Cons

As with most financial-tech space, most of the tech stack is quite outdated and imbuing any new ones takes time and become quite mature or even outdated by the time they're part of the workflow.

Pros

While others' reports of some outdated technologies and an in-house tech stack that can make transfer of knowledge of to other companies less than what it could be, there's a very clear company effort to modernize. On top of that, it seems like the company has invested in its engineers to compete with some of the other top firms (especially true for the intern program), and it shows in the level of talent that the company attracts. Overall this is a very competent engineering department and a good place to work that's getting better every year.

Cons

Outdated technologies and a largely in-house tech stack
