CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good sales regiment (plenty of training) Learn indepth finance (like a mini-CFA) Lots of young, smart, motivated people Decent starting salary (analytics) Good work/life balance (in larger offices, like NYC) Good benefits

Cons

Company as a whole has plateaued and 'sales' does not really exist Very bureaucratic, plenty of people telling you what to do Clear line between management and non-management (lots of 'private internal meetings') Salary flattens out and veterans get a sense that they are being pushed out (as nobody is ever really 'fired') Smaller offices are over engineered - smallest amount of power gets to management's teeny tiny little head 8-6pm contract typically means "7:30am - don't be the first to leave" Business model is flawed now that other firms are essentially delivering the same technology for much less

Top-down management doesn't know tech.

Business Outlook

Pros

good insurance, benefits, 401k. fancy building, free snacks. However, any other tech company would have at least this level of benefits.

Cons

terrible for career growth as a software developer. You cannot learn from doing the work. You have to learn by yourself. Because they use outdated tech, you will have hard time switch jobs to a real IT company.

Pros

Other than compensation and benefits, there are none.

Cons

Working with antiquated technology all the while being micro-managed. You will have very little freedom to make improvements
