      London... you mean that little town across the pond?

      Pros

      great free food, nice fish, nice office. fairly good company culture as a whole. summer parties are amazing. provides good training. fairly flexible working hours. fairly good perks/benefits. software terminal is quite cool.

      Cons

      ancient technologies, perpetual urge to reinvent the wheel, making it tough to do new creative stuff. london still gets forgotten in various aspects. certainly not much career development here. management has a habit of getting something out of people for nothing, the extra mile is more like the extra league.

      Tiring place to work with a lot of pressure and almost no fun.

      Pros

      - free food in the cafeteria - nice office building - looks good on your cv - some exposure to finance - benefits are okay

      Cons

      - looong hours even in training - really really old technologies used, and java script! - a huge base of legacy code which is a pain to deal with - not enough libraries, code base, documentation from past, similar projects that could be used, you end up doing everything yourself, again - you have to program on the bloomberg terminal, which is a pain

      Reasonable place to work as software engineer, great place to work for everyone else

      Pros

      - junior hires given good load of responsibilities - salary and bonuses are good - free snacks (better than microsoft, worse than google) - satisfied customers (having worked at other companies, the high level of customer satisfaction is abnormal and deeply rewarding). - new york city is much more fun than san francisco, boston, or seattle, but that's just my opinion ;).

      Cons

      - no offices - time not as flexible as other tech companies - expected to be on call after hours. for IT/networking/systems people this may be normal, but as a software engineer, I was not used to this. - culture of kissing up to higher levels (worse than other tech companies, but better than most non-tech corporate environments). many superficial efforts are made to combat this, but it is still present - no company cafeteria leads most people to eat at their desks rather than with co-workers - no white boards (maybe that's a pro for some people).
