CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Well paid in my location. Nice office.

Cons

Huge bureaucracy and partially non-working processes. You need to have strong informal relationships to setup back-doors for delivering things in a timely fashion. Teams contain engineers with extremely different level of skills, but tasks are allocated randomly not in alignment with the skills. Not enough QAs. Thanks to this environment, a code quality could be much better. Fast delivery instead of elaborate design is everywhere. "Agile methodologies" on a paper, chaotic development in reality. As a result, the work is looking more and more as fighting with fire.

Business Outlook

Pros

The health and medical benefits are better than most financial companies.

Cons

The company culture is all about making a profit. Downsizing consistently occurs and management expects employees to cover the gap. However, when overwhelmed employees cannot cover the gap, no re-evaluation is considered. All this and little to no bonuses year after year.
