Good first job, but boring and and unsatisfying workplace

Financial software developer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great salary and vacation time. 12 week training program brings your coding up to speed. Good snacks and beverages. I got to move to NYC and be able to afford it.

Cons

Most technology is relatively old. A lot of work is maintenance of code written 10,15,20 years ago. Not much room for innovation especially when all projects are on extremely tight deadlines.

Business Outlook

Pros

A lot of good people to work with, technically talented and diverse. A lot of interesting problems to solve in finance and technology (although this will vary by the team you're on - derivatives in my case) Compensation and benefits are pretty good.

Cons

For someone interested in working on finance, it can be a bit stifling since FSDs tend to get a bit roughshod into their technical roles.
