Great place to start your career. Your experience really depends on the team u work for

Financial software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

* Friendly coworkers * Exposure to many different technologies (I did notice that most other reviews say the exact opposite, but as i mentioned in the headline, this really depends on the team u work for. Fortunately, my team uses more modern technologies in s/w development compared to the rest of the company.) I got to work in all the parts of the technology stack i.e the Backend , middleware and the front end, which usually doesn't happen in most s/w companies.

Cons

* most RnD teams need to work with other teams, but usually there is no proper communication between the teams. you need to constantly badger the other team to get any work done. * work can be very demanding sometimes

They get you with the frills

Sales representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great opportunity to learn about the markets, and bloomberg as a whole, which is widely used in the financial markets industry. Great way to network. Benefits include 4 weeks off. Lots of perks in sales, like free lunch when on client visits. Great benefits

Cons

Managers expect you to work long hours, high turnover. HR goes straight to your manager with a complaint and lets them deal with the issue directly, so you really can't complain about anything without your manager having the last say. Need a doctor's note on the 5th sick day you take. Salary is terrible and it won't increase much, maybe 4-5%. You will be penny pinching working for this company.
