Pros

hmm....Friendly colleagues and 1 month notice period.

Cons

I have been working for this meat factory for 2 years now and if you like a sweatshop work environment this is the company for you. *Salary is crap and new hires get more paid than people who have stayed with the company for more than 3 years. *You will learn NO, i repeat, NO transferable skills, except knowing two or three functions on the terminal very well. *The work is repetitive and requires no intellect at all. A monkey with half of a brain would have no problem doing the "analysis" required for this type of work. *Evaluation is based on some stupid black box metric system which boils down to how much you suck up to management. Brown nosing is key. *There is no career progression whatsoever. I do not consider being promoted to team leader or rather admin leader as a career progression. *There are no words in the world that would describe how bad and appalling the management style is. Foxconn mangement is way better than BBG.

Pros

Used to have free lunch . Not anymore. Cannot think of anything else.

Cons

If you are going there. Just keep this in mind. You can be Albert Einstein and be smartest in the world but you don't get promoted easily. Here Everything works based on relationships. Very long extra hours of work without pay!!! Zero work, life balance. Erratic rules: be buddy to your manager you can come 10 AM and leave 5PM not peoblem. Otherwise arrive 8:05 AM and you can be in trouble.

Pros

* Free Snacks * Free Soup * Beautiful Pantry * HealthCare Benefits (BWELL)

Cons

* Old arcane proprietary stack * Micromanagement and so-called 'TLs' who raised from FSD are basically 'dogs' who worked like dogs and now expects you to work like they had done so in the past. They are sycophants and can be very rude and aggressive unlike any other workplaces . (Senior managers condone their behavior as long as they get their jobs done). *You'll be bombarded with emails, meetings and distraction, no place to vent off. * No Privacy, probably the worse desk arrangement for an engineer, perfect non technical traders/product managers. * Tremendous pressure; there is no respite as others have mentioned. If you don't like what you are doing, good luck!
