Pros

This review is for R&D.

Very good team placement. Recruiters/HR work well to ensure new hires get the teams they desire. Quality of work is good. Very good training sessions and talks by leading experts in C++, such as Bjarne Stroustrup and Alex Stepanov. Employees are encouraged to take part in volunteer activities.

Very good training program for university graduates. Very good benefits include 100% employer-paid health insurance and 401k matching. Teams have started participating in conferences and engaging with the tech community in general.

Cons

It's a pain working with the legacy systems. It slows you down. There's so much more that you could do in a day if this stuff wasn't there.

Free snacks in the NY office are okay, but a meal would be better.

Average age is higher than at other tech firms, so managers sometimes have reservations about using recent technologies.

Not a lot of hiring for the west coast office.
