"Work in software engineering in etrade, you will have exposure to all aspect in web application development. It is a good place to learn. The work /lift balance is not as friendly as people expected sometimes. Management tends to micro-manage and play favors."

Senior Product Manager

"As an organization I found E*TRADE quiet immature. The business leaders do not have or project a clear objective - too many organizational changes have taken place in 2013, hopefully things will stabilize.The other main observation is E*Trade the company culture does not enable them to change roles easily, or move up. You can stay in the same role for years by being average, you may not get much by being exceptional.The work-family balance is good."
