Good place to work for a while

Software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

One of the major pros is that you get to own projects (regardless of whether you are considered 'management'. That certainly makes things exciting

Cons

Almost all the focus is on getting stuff out there 'fast'! Good coding style, good software design aren't as important. While that may work in the short run, in the long run it causes a lot of headaches in terms of software maintainence. But the management doesn't care about that. They just want you to churn more software out, as fast as you can. And of course there is nothing called 'testing'. Its the developers job of course. And you still have to get things out there 'in time'.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great team culture within some of the smaller divisions. Also, lots of perks (including a summer party) and internal resources.

Cons

It is possible to get lost in the crowd. You spend a lot of time dealing with angry traders on Wallstreet whose terminals aren't working.
