Business Outlook

Pros

FREE FOOD, interesting technology infrastructure, beautiful work settings, name brand recognition, you may get some basic career guidance, did I mention excellent free meals?

Cons

Its like watching an episode of The Office, except that its not entertaining and totally destructive to your personal creativity and lifestyle. One manager mentioned that he enjoyed providing an environment of "fear, intimidation and coercion." (seriously.)

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
