A job that kills me softly and bores me to death
Software Developer • Former Employee
New York, New York, United States
August 18, 2010
Pros: Nice perks and snacks. Friendly securities; actually, they are the most friendly people in BB.
Cons: Work is extremely boring. A lot of times, a well-trained high schooler could do the job, with much more passion.
Developers are being abused by business people and threatened by upper management when they are not happy with your work.
I found it funny and pathetic that even my manager is trying real hard to kiss a business analyst's ass. Most managers are incompetent and lack leadership.
The reason they are managers is that a lot of people run away after 1-2 years, so upper management has to pick from what's left.
A Wall Street recruiter I talked to asked me, "Why 80% of resumes he received are from Bloombergs..."
You figure out why.
