      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.

      respect shown by management is very poor, they will insult you in every way and ridicule you

      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

      If you have another offer, take it!

      Pros

      Free medical/dental and free food (snacks and drinks). some of the smartest people you'll meet. that's about it. If you have another offer, take it!

      Cons

      1) no flexible time. 2) very long hours (9-6 manditory...though they won't admit it). take lunch or don't, you must be there for 9 hrs at least. and that's a short day. 3) project management is a joke. 4) proprietary technology and outdated. 5) forget finding another job. yuo'll forget what you know in about 3 months and won't be able to put anything on your resume. 6) they like to hire fresh graduates so they can mold them to their culture.
