Ok. First job, very unsatisfying job in all aspects
Financial Software Developer • Current Employee
New York, New York, United States
March 8, 2014
Pros: When free food is the biggest perk you can think of, there isn't much else to like.
Benefits are good too, I guess.
And since they hire a lot of fresh-out-of-college grads, it can be a good starting place.
Cons: The work is very unsatisfying on all levels. New technologies are seldom used. There is a lot of work pressure and a lot of workload. HR doesn't care two hoots about you in any aspect. The work is boring and tedious, the environment is very closed, very hierarchical, and very bureaucratic. There are very few career growth prospects. The learning environment is very narrow, as teams are not encouraged to learn from each other and/or collaborate.

Fantastic internship program with lots to learn and do
Financial Software Developer • Former Employee
New York, New York, United States
August 5, 2015
Pros: Great intern events throughout the summer, at least one per week. There is always something to do.
You're given your own project to work on and complete throughout the summer. When you're done, you get ample opportunities to show off what you've accomplished to upper management.
Everyone is willing to help or chat with you about their role or the company.
Lots of financial knowledge to gain, with provided classes in finance and tech.
Cons: The work isn't always super challenging or structured, which makes it hard to focus and be productive sometimes.
The tech can be a bit restrictive since it's almost all proprietary, but the people who literally built it are around and willing to help you leverage it the best you can.
Not a fan of the open floor plan.
