Terrible software, terrible place to work as a software engineer, poor management

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Compensation is decent, the company offers nice benefits, the building is impressive and great to show off to others, free snacks are a great perk

Cons

Terrible place to work if you're interested in good software. If you're fortunate enough not to be working on Fortran or some really old crappy C code, you still have to put up with an infrastructure that is from the 90s, maintain some ugly patchwork code. Everything is run based on unreasonable demands from business folks who don't understand software and you are constantly writing band aid solutions and patching code. Your software engineering skills will suffer. Most of the management (on the tech side) doesn't know what it takes to be a good leader and is interested in hitting project deadlines dictated by the business at any cost without any regard for employee development. The only people who can be happy working there are people who started working there out of college, have only seen this culture, and are happy at being well compensated. You will not be happy if you've seen the world outside those glass walls. Do NOT go there as a senior engineer.

Pros

Fairly good pay and benefits, but it would have to be in NYC 4 weeks vacation Learning the Bloomberg terminal and APIs could help you find a good job someday

Cons

Awful code is the norm and nobody seems to care 17 inch monitors everybody is long on excuses for problems, short on solutions ridiculous cramped noisy work environment
