I would imagine this is what it's like to work at any organization where developers are second class citizens.

I work in Tax Accounting and it is similar, because teams are minimal, and the applications and processes only support the 1st class people at the firm.

I would imagine quant hedge funds and market makers like Citadel have a developer culture that is much better. Of course, this is just a guess. Anyone have comments from the quant, HFT side of things?
