Your experience will vary wildly with the team
Your experience will vary wildly with the team
Some of the newer teams are working on really cool stuff. If you get into one of these teams, you will have lots of fun.
The culture is laid back; no one cares if you walk in at 11 am, unlike some of the older teams where the manager will take you aside and lecture you if you come in at 9:35 instead of 9:30.
Don't join the older teams. You'll work on the same thing for your entire time, sometimes not even pushing any code to production for months on end, ending up in the project being cancelled.
Some of these notorious teams are:
- Any of the "yellow key" groups such as Equities and Mortgages
- Some of the real-time teams such as BPIPE, Ticker Plant, Data License
The cool teams are Software Infrastructure and some foundational application teams.
Lots of cliques, particularly in the older teams. Avoid the older teams.
Modernize legacy teams.
Pay more attention to software best practices.
