You may get stuck in a role doing stuff that contributes nothing to your personal growth.
- 3.0Solid development environment and resources, middling business interactionSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesJune 17, 2012Pros: - Great software development platform for Java devs; pretty much everything you need is one Ivy-import away. - IT is given respect in terms of their input on improving the running-the-bank functions.Cons: - There is always a tiresome communication gap between the business users (your customers as a software dev) and yourself. - Seriously heavyweight middle-management; devs are often outnumbered (to the scale of 3:1, in the worst cases) by 'project managers' of some form or another. - Bureaucracy, but this is a bank, so par for the industry course.
- 5.0Great Team, Low PaySoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesDecember 2, 2024Pros: Good culture and support from the team.Cons: The pay is not as competitive.
