      Pros

      Fairly good pay and benefits, but it would have to be in NYC 4 weeks vacation Learning the Bloomberg terminal and APIs could help you find a good job someday

      Cons

      Awful code is the norm and nobody seems to care 17 inch monitors everybody is long on excuses for problems, short on solutions ridiculous cramped noisy work environment

      Some bright spots but overall disappointing

      Pros

      There are some very smart and capable people that you can learn from. A lot of information is open and available if you know where to look. Snacks, summer parties, social events. Good benefits.

      Cons

      Hit or miss if you end up in a team with interesting work and a good manager - the exception rather than the rule. A lot of long-time employees with entrenched views make it a bit of a monoculture. Old technology and tools. A lot of busywork goes on.

      There's a lot to learn, but a broken development process.

      Pros

      You will work with very smart people, several of which are on the C++ standards library committee. The free food is good. The 731 Lexington office's location is an easy commute from just about anywhere.

      Cons

      Development is panic or bugfix driven, so you won't get time to plan or improve. Have that development style for 30 years, and this is the root cause of the other cons: There is no project management to speak of. The build process is time consuming and not automated. The technology is old. You can download freely available libraries/tools that are better than what's mandated internally.
