One of the most prestigious investment banks in the IT area to work for. Relatively high-end software development. Higher management is willing to invest in technology. Relatively good peer-to-peer relationships (of course, that varies from team to team, department to department).
Still lacks organization and structure of the leader in the industry/field. Real teamwork/efforts is not stimulated (read: enforced) enough to provide for the environment where the above will be inevitable. Politics takes over competence more often than is unavoidable.
Clean up and review. Develop not only a new strategy but the whole approach to creating a truly efficient work environment where it would be impossible for a manager to 'hide' a talent, and everybody's performance/results would be visible and objectively rated.
Good luck!
Through a college career site. 3 interviews. Standard programming questions: * String reversal * Binary Search
The interview was with 6 people and was very technical. Initially, there was a phone screen, followed by 1:1 meetings with everyone. This was in 2000, and I had to answer many questions on object-oriented programming, including: * Encapsulation *
The process took a week. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (New York). I applied through the university portal. After two rounds of on-campus interviews, I was called on-site for the remaining rounds.
