Pros

They bought us, and bonuses increased in really impressive matters, they where very professional. They decided to close the branch, but they did it in such a respectful way with crazy amount of benefits including personal mentors and few salaries, they even made us goodbye party. I really left in good feelings

Cons

They fired us all, so yes. Sometimes they where too much corporate, middle management was average at best

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.
