Pros

Good work-life balance, friendly people

Cons

The company undergoes frequent reorganizations, creating ongoing uncertainty about roles and long-term job security. Layoffs occur regularly, yet significant resources continue to be invested in projects such as office renovations, including spaces that have already been recently updated. This creates a disconnect between the company's cost-cutting measures and its spending priorities. Additionally, leadership often appears reactive rather than strategic, making it difficult for employees to feel confident about the company's direction and their future within it.

Pros

Great work/life balance, but expect to work hard. Good team dynamics and open communications.

Cons

Expect a reorg with cuts every 3 years or so. Resource prioritization often seems more tied to messaging value than actual value. Struggling to find a place in the FinTech ecosystem as it's not a giant like LSEG nor Bloomberg, but also not as focused and agile as small competitors.
