A tiring place to work with a lot of pressure and almost no fun
A tiring place to work with a lot of pressure and almost no fun
- Free food in the cafeteria
- Nice office building
- Looks good on your CV
- Some exposure to finance
- Benefits are okay
- Long hours, even during training.
- Really old technologies used, including JavaScript!
- A huge base of legacy code, which is a pain to deal with.
- Not enough libraries, code base, or documentation from past, similar projects that could be used. You end up doing everything yourself, again.
- You have to program on the Bloomberg terminal, which is a pain.
Change R&D completely. Get rid of legacy code as fast as possible, not by covering it with new technologies, but rather redesign the core. I know this is not easy, but it is necessary. A lot of manpower is wasted by dealing with issues that come from the legacy base.
