      Very corporate and bureaucratic.

      Pros

      Good salary and benefits. Lots of free coffee and snacks.

      Cons

      Toxic elements and tons of middle managers. Be very careful joining. Ultimately, I regret taking the position despite the higher pay. Lots of blame culture, gatekeeping by long time employees, superfluous middle manager and micromanagement.

      Don't get stuck doing glorified support

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Free snacks Frequent food events Sponsored events outside of work Great comp and benefits

      Cons

      Working with legacy systems that management has no plans to improve or update. Proprietary front end system that is the worst code base I've ever seen. "On Call" duties outside of work hours are common.

      Good starting point but lots of legacy tech

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Decent health benefits: normally $25 copay for PCP and $40 copay for specialist - OK WFH reimbursement: $500 pre-tax money on your paycheck - Decent 401k match up to about $7500, fully vested after 3 years though - Decent work life balance if you are not in busy team - Free access to Bloomberg terminal - 50% reimbursement on wellness each year (bb will pay you at most $300) - Tuition reimbursement around $10K per year, subject to manager approval - Free entry to many museums in NYC with Bloomberg badge - Great team mobility if you want to switch team - Around 20 paid leave days and unlimited paid sick days - OK green card policy (H1B + 1 year for new grads) - Free access to Bloomberg terminal and the news website - Decent pantry but no real breakfast or lunch

      Cons

      - Lots of legacy tech. Depending on the team, you need to code in fortran and work on solaris/aix machines that vscode does not even support. - Lots of internal tech which are not pleasant to use. Almost nothing related to the Bloomberg terminal is mordern. - Development workflow is extremely lagging for lots of teams. No CI/CD, no linting, no formatter, no docker. Your service will run on a barebone vm instance. Be ready to spend lots of time on figuring out how to build and ship your code. - Most teams adopt the scrum methodology so expect daily standups. Some teams have standups like 2-3 times a week. - Opaque performance evaluation and salary bump. People say there is a magic formula to determine your salary increase. - You badge in/out time show up on your profile and after your email address.
