Worst spot in my career

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Snacks, location, colleagues, benefits, vacation time

Cons

Decreasing value year-over-year to my career. Developer management cares only about themselves and not their employees (saw this in several groups). Company is overrun by suits trying to run software groups with too much influence on week-minded software developer managers. Heavy use of Fortran and proprietary tech. Spend more than a few years at this company and you will not be employable elsewhere.

Good environment to learn and grow

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You are recognized for the good work to do. You are also given freedom to be entrepreneurial and explore different ideas. You learn a lot and people are generally quite friendly.

Cons

Pay is ok but not competitive enough vis a vis similar companies. Micromanagement at times and metrics overload at times.

Business Outlook

Pros

fancy office and you are allowed to show off by inviting personal gusts anytime. Work-wise - trading floor environment, no privacy - which is good, as you see your coworkers and share. they pay for your exams you passed them. decent compensation package.

Cons

as company grew - so did bureaucracy. very often you just waist time on absolutely unnecessary and annoying things. no mater how hard you work - you not gonna get what you 'think' you deserve - the only way is to either move to another department or to a different employer.
