Avoid like plague

Sales representative

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

-Good experience for new graduates who'd like to get into finance / banking -Pretty offices wish fish tanks -Lots of sugary snacks

Cons

-Horrible working environment, work life balance doesn't exist. -Strong corporate culture that caters to upper management only and is clueless on what happens on the ground. -As long as you're a "yes man/woman" you're likely to succeed but if you have an ounce of entrepreneurship or creativity, expect some serious stagnation to your career progression.

Good software company on the east coast

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

a) It's mostly software company thus software developers are treated as first class citizens which is not that common for NYC; b) Competitive benefits (base + bonus, 401K, medical, etc) c) Great life-work balance (flexible schedule, 20 work days vacation, 20 sick leaves, work from home, etc) d) Broad range of projects and architectures - client/server, unix, windows, mobile, Java, C, C++, C#

Cons

1) As in most of NY companies - work environment, lots of people, can be noisy, some distractions; 2) Management can do a better job - sometimes too tough on person and schedule, some problems in listening to developer and understanding his/her position
