      pays well, bad culture

      Quant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - pays quite well - good work-life balance - depending on team, might work on something very interesting

      Cons

      - extremely secretive culture which makes for both awkward interactions with colleagues (people on your own team won't say hi to you in the hallway) and actually makes your job harder (lots of things don't just lack documentation - they CAN'T be documented, people get thrown out of meetings half way through to preserve secrecy, no one casually talks about what they're working on) - can't interact with open source community or speak at conferences about your work very easily

      Great firm with interesting work and flat organization

      Product specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Very flat structure. Everyone is approachable. - Interesting work. - Senior management comes from a place of trust, meaning they trust business and project owners to do what's best. And that culture permeates the organization. I feel like my manager has trust and confidence in me. - Certainly a tech firm in the finance / investment management world. This means casual dress code, great benefits, work-life balance, and workplace perks. - From what I've seen, internal mobility happens often and is encouraged. - Employees are empowered and encouraged to take on additional work / solve problems that aren't currently being worked on.

      Cons

      - Different business units can be compartmentalized so can be difficult to meet others throughout the organization.

      employee-friendly; deserves its good reputation

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      A healthy, friendly working environment; reasonable and mostly flexible hours - nice for people with kids; good salaries, benefits, time off, etc.; technical challenges are good (but see further discussion in "cons"); plenty of opportunities to switch teams within the company; well-communicated path for career advancement.

      Cons

      Our business in the end is financial, so even though we are highly technical we are probably not going to transform the software industry the way Google has, for example.
