CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Great benefits - Good compensation - Casual work environment - Market leader - Good place to coast your career if you just want a stable job - No layoffs...yet

Cons

- No emphasis on software design - entire mentality is focused on getting the job done as quickly as possible. - Managers actually discourage you from spending too much time designing code! - A lot of legacy code that is poorly written with no documentation - Management is very set on their ways - TONS of proprietary software - Lack of professional development. - Most likely will not learn much regarding software development...but you might learn a lot about finance

Outdated business model manifests in poor treatment of employees

Pros

Free entrance to museums in New York City! Thanks, Mayor Mike!

Cons

Allegedly flat structure could not be further from the truth; in reality, an entry level employee gets to look forward to 15 people telling him or her what to do.

Pros

Early responsobalities, you get in touch with clients very quickly and if you proove them you can handle hard job and responsabilities they give them to you. You don t have to be lazy or average otherwise you will be treated as average.

Cons

The turnover is very high because there are few possibilties to reach power within the division. Structure is too flat
