Your experience will vary wildly with the team

Financial software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Some of the newer teams are working on really cool stuff. If you get into one of these teams, you will have lots of fun. The culture is laidback; no one cares if you walk in at 11 am unlike some of the older teams where the manager will take you aside and lecture you if you come at 9:35 instead of 9:30. Don't join the older teams. You'll work on the same thing for your entire time, sometimes not even pushing any code to production for months on end, ending up in the project being cancelled. Some of these notorious teams are: Any of the "yellow key" groups such as Equities and Mortgages, some of the realtime teams such as BPIPE, Ticker Plant, Data License. The cool teams are Software Infrastructure, and some foundational application teams.

Cons

Lots of cliques, particularly in the older teams. Avoid the older teams.

Mind-numbing work

Business Outlook

Pros

free snacks in the pantry, unlimited sick days, lots of opportunities to do volunteer/charity work

Cons

no defined career path or structure for progressions, nepotistic and extremely hierarchical management structure, repetitive and mindless work. Global Data employs data inputters yet calls them analysts, learning is very limited after initial training, the review process is based on manager "impressions" and deliberately vague, lots of under-motivated unintelligent people doing drudge work makes for a depression environment
