      Financial development - developer

      Pros

      Great culture in certain teams. Flexible work schedule, free food, and get to work in Europe

      Cons

      Not very strong managers. Financial development use to have 60 developers. Today, there is 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 can 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 do not exist.

      Pros

      Great culture at the peer to peer level. Excellent learning opportunities, good benefits and great name for resume.

      Cons

      Pretend to be transparent but a lot of smoke & mirrors. Significant cuts to comp plans & commissions that resulted in challenging pay cuts. While salaries were not reduced the OTE is no longer achievable and it’s a difference of thousands monthly, can’t even sell stock because it’s tanked. That being said, we’re disappointed in comp and stock but grateful to be employed because It’s no longer a matter of if you’ll be laid off but when.
