More Cons than Pros

Pros

Work/Life balance. There is not much stress and I have learned a lot during my time.

Cons

Benefits really took a step down in 2017. Premiums were increased as well as deductibles. Pay has been stagnant and many people have moved on. It has been difficult to move up as management seems happy to have experienced people leave and replace with less experienced (and less expensive) candidates.

Pros

-- Good exposure for junior people

Cons

-- Pay is insulting (both compensation and bonuses). Do not expect to make up lost ground through promotion -- Training is not great. -- Work-life balance is entirely variable (deal flow and group) -- Poor transparency in the promotion process

Pros

- Relaxed work environment. Good work/personal life balance. - Everyone is friendly, however they will not take new ideas or constructive criticism on-board. - Flexible work hours.

Cons

- Generally, the IT infra is very painfully 80s, esp for IT professionals. ThinkPad laptops, no proper work from home infrastructure. Mail and network downtime every other week. - Serious issues with maturity level or technical competence of technologists. You'll get a 'seniour analyst developer' who doesn't know how to set a classpath. You'll also get people who don't know how to check whether a process is running in an OS. Infra will give you contradicting information -- as an example I was denied an installation on my PC once by an Admin (citing security issues) , but was allowed to download it off the internet later! IT systems are a horror show to say the least. - More emphasis is laid upon staff following instructions rather than encouraging thought-leadership. People spend a lot of time following processes without adding business value. - Every job comes with it's fair share of 'work-place politics' but there is very subtle hectoring by 'Senior' staff. You won't grow in the firm based on your capability and deliverables. - No transparency -- management and staff are out-of-sync. - If you're a technologist, look elsewhere if you don't want to get choked.
