Worst. Company. Ever.

Software developer

Business Outlook

Pros

Some very smart people in IT

Cons

The level of politics and backbiting is incredible. The Fixed income side was doing fine when I was there but the equity IT side was just horrible. You can tell that around 10 years ago this place was state of the art, but now the quality of the code developed has nose dived and the desire to innovate is completely gone. This whole shop is in maintenance mode for the foreseeable future.

Dead End Company with no future prospects

Associate officer

Business Outlook

Pros

Cafeteria is decent considering the size of the company. Sushi counter is awesome.

Cons

Your hardwork will help your manager get awards and promotions. Manager competes with you if you are good at your job and make sure to give you bad reviews so that you are no threat to him/her. Rampant favouritism is the norm. You can only advance if your manager adopts you else its best you quit.
