Pros

innovative, cool technology great co-workers

Cons

to much has shifted on the shoulders of the employee. Eg to much compliance, too many meetings admin and calls taking away the focus from the clients and creating an internal compliance culture without applying common sense. Admin supprt has been removed thus creating hidden costs for the employee

Pros

Interesting technology view and on the forefront of some of the technologies, doest its best to adapt to changed environment. Work-life balance is preached, but then putting in extra time outside working hours is expected.

Cons

The review process is very frustrating, almost no feedback during projects. Manager constantly changes which provides you with no solid person to act as reference or provides the possibility to bond with such a manager

Pros

I'm really not sure what to put here. I guess, maybe, a bit of work location flexibility. Can work from home here or there, but I do have a feeling that you get penalized for it subconsciously.

Cons

Well, it's a factory pretty much. And it's hard, hard un-meaningful work. Many analysts don't even understand the products they are analyzing. Management is a bid of a joke.
