Pros: I learned a lot about Mayor Bloomberg, who is a very nice guy, and that was cool. The interview was pretty standard, and they made me feel at home.

Cons: It was very hectic and depressing.

Pros: Good training program, especially from outside lecturers. Fanciest office I have ever seen. Great view on the 29th floor. Working hours are generally okay, although some teams are busier. Good benefits for people who are married or have children. People are generally nice.

Cons: This is based on my own experience; your mileage may vary. Salary has no correlation with how hard you work or how much work you did. Reviews and raises are subject to the favoritism of your manager. If your manager is nice, you are lucky; otherwise, you are underpaid compared with your peers. Micromanagement was so much that I felt no work could ever be finished. Your own ideas don't matter at all, so it's better to shut up and do whatever you are told. Lots of legacy code. Most of the time was spent figuring out a couple of seemingly trivial issues.

Pros: Great training program. Great pay. Great upward mobility. Great free snacks.

Cons: Company politics. Team can be cliquey.
