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.
