Really Bad Senior Management in Engineering
Software Engineer • Current Employee
March 14, 2025
Pros: Pantry.
Nice office.
Friendly people.
Cons: Go quickly alone, but go far together (with collaboration).
I have seen a colleague do this and collaborate on a solution with several teams for a year and still not deliver anything. This is the new norm.
There is so much spyware on my laptop (installed by the company) that I have to reboot a few times in the morning to actually be able to start up the Bloomberg terminal on my company laptop.

Short stay, but huge experience!
Software Engineer • Former Employee

Pros: Snacks, free food, and human hours with a 1-hour lunch break.
Underrated qualities: The staff is very professional but also very human. This is a large fintech company, yet it moves efficiently like a startup. You're also given a lot of opportunities to donate and contribute to your local community.
Cons: You're kind of thrown in to learn as you go, which is scary, but that's how they do things.
