Business Outlook

Pros

- Great benefits - Good compensation - Casual work environment - Market leader - Good place to coast your career if you just want a stable job - No layoffs...yet

Cons

- No emphasis on software design - entire mentality is focused on getting the job done as quickly as possible. - Managers actually discourage you from spending too much time designing code! - A lot of legacy code that is poorly written with no documentation - Management is very set on their ways - TONS of proprietary software - Lack of professional development. - Most likely will not learn much regarding software development...but you might learn a lot about finance

Great company to work for.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The company offers competitive pay, and a great benefits package that is better than investment banks. There is free food. The people working there are friendly, smart, and generally easy going compared to people at investment banks. More job security than investment banks. Fast paced work environment and some very interesting work. Ability and talent, not seniority, are recognized and rewarded. Training program for new grads.

Cons

The work culture is very unique. Some strict rules. It's much bigger now than 5 years ago and profit sharing are no longer that lucrative. Some of the senior management's decisions are difficult to grasp.
