      Strong engineering culture hampered by bureaucracy and politics

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Strong engineering culture with exposure to large-scale financial systems, distributed architecture, and production-critical platforms. Good opportunities to learn modern cloud, performance, and reliability engineering.

      Cons

      Bureaucracy and internal politics can sometimes outweigh technical merit. Employees who take ownership or challenge inefficiencies may face delayed recognition, unclear growth paths, and shifting expectations, leading to frustration and disengagement over time.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits, access to a lot of opportunities (depending on your team), typically above average in terms of pay

      Cons

      The company is getting bigger so less opportunity for progression
