      Good place to work for a while

      Pros

      One of the major pros is that you get to own projects (regardless of whether you are considered 'management'. That certainly makes things exciting

      Cons

      Almost all the focus is on getting stuff out there 'fast'! Good coding style, good software design aren't as important. While that may work in the short run, in the long run it causes a lot of headaches in terms of software maintainence. But the management doesn't care about that. They just want you to churn more software out, as fast as you can. And of course there is nothing called 'testing'. Its the developers job of course. And you still have to get things out there 'in time'.

      Great Bunch of People

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great team culture within some of the smaller divisions. Also, lots of perks (including a summer party) and internal resources.

      Cons

      It is possible to get lost in the crowd. You spend a lot of time dealing with angry traders on Wallstreet whose terminals aren't working.

      Fast paced and exciting, but not a software specialist's dream

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company seems to take reasonably good care of you, with a good compensation package and benefits, and a bright lively working environment. There is a lot of expertise around to learn from if your objective is to develop an understanding of financial markets. The work is fast paced and you will seldom find yourself bogged down in your job. The ability to handle pressure, look at problems from a business perspective is valued. Good kitchens.

      Cons

      Code base is old and can be frustrating at times. Core technical people, who want to develop their technical skill set will be put off by the demand to get the solution out to customers, often sacrificing quality. If you're in a team that works on legacy products rather than new ones, the skills you pick up will be in proprietary techs that are not transferable. The flat hierarchy, (3 levels from new fresh-from-college hire to the head of R&D) may not leave room for advancement that you can show on your resume.
