- Lot of legacy code in some teams, and the associated need to convince a "council of elders" to make big changes - Can get pigeonholed into working on highly specialized stuff if not careful (ex: do 4 years working on trading GUI using old java swing patterns) - Excruciating lack of documentation sometimes - The comp is of course great relative to most jobs, but some other firms like Cit will pay much higher - If hired as a new grad (esp a trader) - beware there have been large cuts of those classes in the past
