January 1, 2017
Positive ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I applied online and received an offer for a main role within two weeks. This was followed by a Skype interview, during which I had to solve a problem in a programming language of my choice. I chose C++.
After the Skype interview, I had a face-to-face interview in Bucharest with two software engineers from London.
Four days later, I received an email confirming that I had passed that interview as well, and that I would need to attend an interview at the London office.

One of the worst companies to work for!!!

Pros: Used to have free lunch. Not anymore.
Cannot think of anything else.
Cons: If you are going there, just keep this in mind.
You can be Albert Einstein and be the smartest in the world, but you don't get promoted easily.
Everything here works based on relationships.
Very long, extra hours of work without pay!
Zero work-life balance.
Erratic rules: be a buddy to your manager, and you can come at 10 AM and leave at 5 PM, no problem.
Otherwise, arrive at 8:05 AM, and you can be in trouble.

Pros: I have been working at Bloomberg for two years. It has an open culture, a free terminal, great benefits in NYC, a nice environment, and great people to work with.
Cons: Not really. The cost of living might be expensive if you want to balance commuting and quality of life.

Pros: One of the major pros is that you get to own projects, regardless of whether you are considered 'management'. That certainly makes things exciting.
Cons: Almost all the focus is on getting stuff out there 'fast!' Good coding style and good software design aren't as important. While that may work in the short run, in the long run it causes a lot of headaches in terms of software maintenance. But the management doesn't care about that. They just want you to churn more software out, as fast as you can.
And of course, there is nothing called 'testing'. It's the developer's job, of course. And you still have to get things out there 'in time'.
