Overall rating: 4/5
Employment status: former
Experience level: Junior

A very good company, but a difficult environment for software development
Pros: Great people who are willing to help across business lines.  People make time to try to help others from any group.
Competitive compensation.
Good benefits and work-life balance.
Good mid-town NY locations.
Cons: Too many layer of approval needed to make changes to any business process. This leads to many changes building up waiting for approvals, so when the changes are finally made they're more stressful and error-prone than would have been the case had a sequence of small changes been allowed.  This makes development work frustrating.
