A much better place to work for a Software Developer than most organizations

Software Developer • Current Employee

New York, New York, United States

Pros: Good learning - something new to learn every day. Good management - easy to communicate with higher management and business. Salaries/Bonuses/Healthcare/Incentives - among the best in the country. Very beautiful office - this definitely counts in liking your job. Opportunities for fast growth. 20 vacation days - much better than many companies.

Cons: Hectic. Need to slog sometimes. Some legacy code to be dealt with at times, but this depends on the team. No cubicles, just desks. This makes it hard for personal matters, like checking your emails or answering personal calls. And your manager, his manager, his manager – all eyes are on you. Manhattan: Commuting time is high.
