There's a lot to learn, but a broken development process.

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You will work with very smart people, several of which are on the C++ standards library committee. The free food is good. The 731 Lexington office's location is an easy commute from just about anywhere.

Cons

Development is panic or bugfix driven, so you won't get time to plan or improve. Have that development style for 30 years, and this is the root cause of the other cons: There is no project management to speak of. The build process is time consuming and not automated. The technology is old. You can download freely available libraries/tools that are better than what's mandated internally.

Impressive building, pretty good pay... but bored at work, not challenging.

Financial software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Line on the resume Good pay, but if you count all the hours you really work, it's less impressive The building is really cool - multicolored glass, transparency, lots of open space Events scheduled for interns Flexible work hours

Cons

Work is not really challenging. Lots of repetitive work. Need to fill out programmer's notes every day. If you're a programmer and you hope to learn more about finance by working here... it won't happen. If you're an intern, you cannot bill more than 40 hrs per week. Almost everybody works more, but you won't be paid for overtime. Free food and drinks are always there, but if you're health conscious, most of it won't be of much benefit to you. IB - "Instant Bloomberg" - instant messaging for Bloomberg employees - can get in the way of work. Old technology.
