Great place to land if you want to establish or re-establish your career, terrible long term

Director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

This place hires relatively young people and relatively old away from larger firms who want a big pay bump for middle or back office jobs. It will also take a chance on the laid-off. So great if you need a jump in pay or just a job. For like two years.

Cons

After two years you realize that for you and EVERYONE ELSE in the back or middle office, you first year total comp is basically your total comp forever. They NEVER give raises or big bonuses to ANYONE who is not a revenue generator no matter how hard or little you work. So you end up with 3 kinds of people who have worked here 2+ years: those who quite and find a new job, those who work JUST hard enough to NOT get fired, and the bitter ones. There are no other types here.

Balanced Work/Life Culture

Pros

Compensation is very good and gets better if you also add the facts of relaxed working hours of 9 to 5 for most of the year. Yes, you do get to stay late but like anything you have good days and you have then bad days. Being able to get home by 7 after putting in a 13 hour day (of which 4 hours are just for the journey to/from NYC downtown) is really a blessing IMHO!

Cons

Getting to work on writing systems from scratch is next to none. Most of the time, the resources are directed to upgrade the existing code bases built by former others. Upgrading the technologies is normally a tough sell. Management needs to be a bit more independent and also brave enough to take a direction of their own as well and not just do what they are told by London people.
