A stable and rewarding company

Pros: It has a great R&D training program, which gets you ready to do some real programming tasks.
Cons: Chasing fast but sometimes could be cheap solutions, which may cause bigger problems later. Maybe different teams are different, but at least in my team, rarely do I see people put effort on code refactoring. I personally feel that the open floor could be very distractive to me; earmuffs would be your good friend.

Good Training, Exploitative Management
Financial Software Developer • Current Employee

Pros: A great place to work at the intersection of finance and technology.
A great building and perks in New York City.
They provide in-house training for employees and offer involvement in social activities.
Cons: Management is not supportive of international employees in their visa applications and green card applications. They try to exploit people who need sponsorship.

Pros: If you land on the right team, there is a lot of flexibility and great work-life balance. Fortunately, the percentage of the "good" teams is growing steadily, especially within the Derivatives and Infrastructure departments of R&D.
There are a lot of opportunities to grow professionally, but you need to forge your own path.
Very intelligent colleagues, great ideas.
Free snacks and drinks/juice all day, every day.
Excellent compensation and benefits.
Cons: A lot of red tape (as with many large and successful corporations), meaning that great ideas need a lot of persistence to really take off, or else they will be swept aside for the next money grab enhancement.
Some old technologies and implementations are so established that they're tough to supplant with smarter/faster/newer ones.
Open floorplan. While it fosters collaboration, concentration is very easily broken.
