Pros

Lots of resources, access to almost anyone in financial services, good training programs, food and other amenities are topnotch Employee perks like summer picnic and Big Apple Circus make you feel valued

Cons

Product managers and engineers will struggle to work across businesses and overcome twenty-five years of legacy systems; everything takes longer to get done or ships with less functionality than it should; many long-tenured employees are semi-retired at full pay, and loyalty is often put above current productivity

Pros

My manager was a great guy to work with, very helpful, professional, very much enjoyed working with him. Being that I worked remotely, I did not interface with too many people from the company, only a few. But those that I did were very helpful, very friendly, and very professional. I definitely enjoyed that aspect of the job.

Cons

Hard to reach superiors sometimes, communication could be poor sometimes. Payment was slow arriving. I worked part time and worked remotely, so my experiences might differ from others. However just in the University Sales department (where I worked) I feel that they needed a bit more organization and also could use some additional managers. I felt my manager was many times almost too busy to really devote full attention to situations that would come up.

Pros

You are working for an industry leader that makes a superior product that sits on the most important desks in the world. Along with the prestige is the fact that you are treated extremely well with perks that you would never receive elsewhere.

Cons

With high rewards comes high expectations. Market response is very high, product expectations are demanding, and there is very little room for error.
