Not a place for good programmers. Hacking is encouraged.

Financial software developer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Fast-paced work; Dull moments are rare. But that's becase ... (see "Cons").

Cons

Bad programmers abound. Emphasis is on rolling out software that's quickly written and does its job with no concern for software standards. I'm amazed how much untested software is rolled out to customers every week. Customers are used for testing. Very political atmosphere. Top management encourages competition between different teams, resulting in vitiated atmosphere. Company has grown very big and is dragged in different directions Core product ("The Terminal") has hit a plateau and things will be difficult unless radical innovations happen.

Great Company to work for but different departments have varying experiences

Financial software developer

Business Outlook

Pros

Company as a whole cares about employees. Benefits are top notch. Summer parties are the best and the company has excellent core values. Being a private company has a huge advantage that the company can invest in its people through education and other perks that are rarely found else where. They also promote volunteer work, being green, and focusing on your health.

Cons

Certain groups in the company can have a really bad working environment or a really awesome working environment. It is hit or miss (which tends to depend on who is managing the group). The company also works with really old technologies which is not transferable to other companies. The development environment (or lack of one) is really old and not efficient.
