Pros

Excellent benefits and excellent opportunities for taking classes to further your skills.

Cons

Micromanagement. Cameras watching your every move. Culture of distrust. Upper management tells you they want transparency but the managers tell you to "keep your mouth shut". They judge you by how many hours you are at the office and not by how efficient you are, how much work you get done or the quality of the work.

Underpaid, but great benefits. If you started prior to 2002 or bring lots of experience you earn a high salary.

Pros

Great Benefits, Great people that work here, Amazing R&D team, Great Sales Work, If you come in with experience you will get pay very well. R&D, Sales, News, Trading Solutions, are considered income producing side of the company.

Cons

If you work in other departments you will get a lot less benefits, low pay and more micromanaged. Its like working in a completely different company. Upper management does not move, so you are better off moving to another company if you want to move around. When you do move up, your salary does not increase until end of year or sometimes not at all.
