The only time I've seen lisp talked about in a practical way is in emacs. Hell, I'll be willing to bet that anyone who is serious about lisp also passionately uses emacs.

There's a company ITA Software, now owned by Google, who wrote price finding software for flights in lisp. They still are afaik. That's the only company I know where their core software is in lisp.

isn't state street (still?) a lisp shop?

I would imagine that, like many other central banks they use some lisp; I'm sure you'd find it at Chase too. With all the mergers they've had and given it's a fairly rare skill I doubt it's too key. Surprisingly a lot of core banking still runs in large batches on mainframes, like probably 80% of the transaction processing for most of them.
