Horrible place to work, Not a place for Tech Savvy Developers

Research & development manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Access to Bloomberg Terminal, fancy building (6th floor)

Cons

Fortran and C++ based technology Everything is proprietory including mails, timetracking and project management tool. Wasted god knows how much money to develop an internal IDE (sometime like eclipse, JBuilder) but horribly poor. Management resistance for change Experienced people from industry have lots of resistance internally to grow R&D is horribly aligned, many similar initiatives... Sub standard analytics for derivatives. People hang their batch all day, too much of badge monitoring I think only thing keeping this company afloat is 40 plus years of data, nothing else.

Business Outlook

Pros

Free chips and soda, if you work long hours and work for 1.5 persons man hours, you will get 10k bonus

Cons

They make you work 10 to 12 hours and pay only 8 hrs for consultants, crappy architecture, any one line of java code you change, you are using free jetty and it takes 30 minutes to builds the project.Why can;t they use websphere/RAD, which picks up hot deploymenyt automatically I wonder if the great mayor knows about this bad practises. Somebody should take action No balance between work life and personal life
