Pros

It's a ok place to work. They provided 3 month trainings before you actually start, and you have free food.

Cons

Sometimes you must work long hours, it's up to you. The longer you work, the more they like you. it seems.

London... you mean that little town across the pond?

Financial software developer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

great free food, nice fish, nice office. fairly good company culture as a whole. summer parties are amazing. provides good training. fairly flexible working hours. fairly good perks/benefits. software terminal is quite cool.

Cons

ancient technologies, perpetual urge to reinvent the wheel, making it tough to do new creative stuff. london still gets forgotten in various aspects. certainly not much career development here. management has a habit of getting something out of people for nothing, the extra mile is more like the extra league.

Business Outlook

Pros

- free food in the cafeteria - nice office building - looks good on your cv - some exposure to finance - benefits are okay

Cons

- looong hours even in training - really really old technologies used, and java script! - a huge base of legacy code which is a pain to deal with - not enough libraries, code base, documentation from past, similar projects that could be used, you end up doing everything yourself, again - you have to program on the bloomberg terminal, which is a pain
