      Great packages, but not a great place to learn

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great building, competitive salary, excellent benefits package, multi-cultural environment. If you are fresh from college, have no work experience, or would like to find someone to date, an excellent place to work! Unlikely to get fired for any reason. Free food. Really high turnover, so you may get a sales job even if you were a programmer.

      Cons

      The technology is ancient (the majority). A lot of programmers are simply maintaining legacy code (fortran, c) that cannot be retired or converted. The company also uses a TON of proprietary software, all developed in-house. For example, they've created their own Service oriented architecture (ala WSDL), two home-grown databases, entire UI framework, and other things.

      Not a bad place. If you have it in you, you will shine.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very open environment. Very good place to start a career in finance especially when you dont have background in financial industry.

      Cons

      It is not a bank or investment firm. So, don't expect any front office exposure. Be prepared to work in technologies that may sound obsolete elsewhere. Be prepared for a deadline that is every other week.
