Good place to work but if not connected can be hard to move up

2 offices can work in Wheaton or Austin, TX. Good benefits and pay is good.
|
UIT business is slowing down, you want to be on the ETF side of things.

Excellent place to work
|
|
If you are willing to work on the full life cycle, requirements through maintenance, and can be self-directed it's a great place to work. It's family oriented and allows for good work / life balance and the work is varied.
|
If you either want a lot of direction or you want to narrow your focus to a particular aspect of software development it might not be the right fit.

Very chill compared to the rest of the company.
|
Very old school. Some teams are lucky to be using C# .NET, but others are using Delphi. Very flat company so not much room to grow. Also, very conservative company.

Fly under the radar compared to larger asset management firms which leads room for growth and career development.
|
People that lack initiative and self-starter work ethic will get lost in the crowd. Reward early employees.

It only works well if you are a born-again Christian or a White Male
|
|
Both locations were conveniently located.
|
The constant questioning if you had accepted Jesus Christ as my personal savior on a daily basis. Regardless of private company standing, no employee should be subjected to that kind of harassment.
Then the hypocritical "married" President was having an affair with an employee. All those that knew this secret were mysteriously laid off. Go figure.
I was told that my salary was too high to get a job there as I was a woman who would just be getting married and having babies. My manager had to explain that I was a career woman and would not be getting married or having children. It made it feel as though my education and years of experience counted for nothing.
It's definitely then and now a good ole boys club. Women beware!!!

Enjoyable Workplace
|
|
Great work environment
Great co-workers and manager
Good work-life balance
Good benefits (healthcare, subsidized lunches, etc.)
Great values
|
Below average pay (and 401k matching)
A bit of "not invented here" syndrome
Exclusive use an older programming language (Delphi)

Don't pay software developers the same way you pay salespeople, PMs, etc. That is, increase base pay and don't make compensation subject to the company's success in the market since that is not a good measure of software productivity
