Mediocre - not a technology company

Senior software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive pay Stable job in a recession Excellent benefits Great workplace - awesome building, amazing snacks, summer party and perks Very helpful and knowledgeable peers Software ownership - you own the product you develop Fast paced client facing software development

Cons

Incompetent middle management - suffers from tunnel vision and tends to bully Lots of fault finding - little credit given Software/architecture is ancient A lot of mediocre proprietary software which is essentially re-inventing the wheel Unemployable elsewhere after a few years Fairly long work hours - flex-time/work from home not encouraged though they exist on paper Few, if any, opportunities for professional growth. After 5 years as a developer you maybe promoted to team lead. Not a technology company - started by a trader for traders run by wannabe traders.

Good place to start, good name on your CV. Do not exceed 24 months, though..

Analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

good name on your CV for afterwards, exposure to markets, large range of clients to work with, no need to stay overtime, management not very eloquent so a few polysyllabics will sort you out if you're lagging behind

Cons

incompetent management, lack of communication, over-ephasis on company jargon, dissonance between what is said and what is actually expected, lack of ownership over own career, no interest to develop your career but to increase the rate at which you execute your tasks, rigorous and unsuitably rigid metrics system, compensation substandard for the industry
