Pros

Working in NYC is good; there are lots of perks and decent money too. People are nice in general. They give out free passes to NY attractions.

Cons

Working as a software developer in a financial company is a bad idea. The quality of developers in your team can be low, depending on what team.

Advice to Management

Hire better developers. Hire former developers as managers so that they at least understand the requirements.

Allow people to access the web freely. You don't want your firewall to be a deterrent to performance.
