Not a bad place. If you have it in you, you will shine.

Business Outlook

Pros

Very open environment. Very good place to start a career in finance especially when you dont have background in financial industry.

Cons

It is not a bank or investment firm. So, don't expect any front office exposure. Be prepared to work in technologies that may sound obsolete elsewhere. Be prepared for a deadline that is every other week.

Good place to work, would help if management decisions were explained more clearly

Senior software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The atmosphere is fast paced, the salary is decent as are the bonuses (at least so far), communication channels are fairly clear compared to many other places I've worked. I've seen some complaints about programmer notes in some of the other posts, but at least there are systems for tracking issues, projects and work completed--I've worked in many places outside the finance industry where things aren't nearly as clear-cut. Many of the Plan B changes appear to be intended for improving retention, especially for employees with families. Bloomberg used to be notorious for requiring "face time" from employees; having the option to work at home for a day when kids are sick makes life a lot easier.

Cons

The hours can be long, it is expensive to live in/near NYC, and sometimes upper management decisions are a mystery.
