Financial Software Developer Interview Experience - New York, New York
December 2, 2015
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer
Process
Phone interview, followed by on-site interview with developers, manager, and HR. The questions were mostly brainteasers; no financial knowledge was required. HR asked general behavioral questions and desired salary, starting date, etc. I was told that they would contact me within 2 weeks, but I hadn't heard back for a while, so I followed up with the internal recruiter, and he replied that they were not moving forward with me.
Questions
Some brainteasers.

Pros: Friendly environment
No restrictions
Free food (lots and lots of junk and organic food)
Better than industry-kind of pay (not top, though)
Cons: Keeps you busy (Get a lot of work done from you in return for good pay).
You need to know how to bull-shit, even if you do not know how to do something.
Lot of legacy code... not worth learning it for professional growth.

A great place to start if you like a fast-paced environment
Financial Software Developer • Current Employee

Pros: Since the products that the teams develop are entirely client/customer based, you will be involved in the entire software development life cycle process.
Teams are switching over to new technology (that's a very good sign).
The entire company is transparent. You know what different teams are working on, and the developers are easy to approach.
Cons: Although the company has a great volunteering program, there are not many employee networking events. A better software rollout process is needed.
