Bank of America Work Experiences
- 4.0A great place to start for a programmerJunior Software Developer • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesSeptember 24, 2014Pros: Senior developers value your personal growth and encourage you to attend workshops and training. My manager even let me read textbooks at work (free online via techbus.safaribooksonline.com), as long as I still got my work done.Cons: Political friction between business and tech, and turf wars between individual tech teams. As a junior dev, I was spared from this. Bizarre internal software development tools. Don't expect any technology you learn here to be transferable. Focus on learning to write clean, clear code.
