Financial Application Development - Stay Away
Financial Application Development - Stay Away
Great culture in certain teams. Flexible work schedule, free food, and the opportunity to work in Europe.
Not very strong managers.
Financial Development used to have 60 developers. Today, there are 400 developers - just in one area.
They over-hired and brought in average developers - not very strong. They just hired to meet the target number.
The top manager is from Oracle and Microsoft. He could care less about his employees. All his managers are too scared to say anything.
There is a turf war between Product Management and Development. The product's performance sucks.
Large companies are not buying Financials. Development process is over-engineered (taking Agile to the extreme!).
Salaries are low. Career growth for developers does not exist.
Dave and Aneel, you need to clean house. The culture is dying. Be careful what your senior managers are telling you. The information is filtered. The truth is there if you choose to find it yourself. Your financial products are not in good hands.
