Pros

Free goodies, flexible time and WFH, benefits, casual dress code, weekend away, socials. Some of the engineers are very good.

Cons

Trayport is the master of propaganda. They say you will be able to learn interesting technologies and then you learn how to meet deadlines by cutting corners. They say you will work in a relaxed atmosphere and then you face witch hunts and bullying. They say you will work with talented developers and then you discover that most of them left already. They promise internal mobility, but what they really mean is moving desks (Trayport loves to shuffle people). You read some great reviews here and then you discover that they are fakes written by Trayport management. A special thing about Trayport is their obsession with processes, methodologies, Kanban, Agile, Scrum, you name it. Management sees and abuses methodologies as tools to micro-manage engineers. Before deadlines Trayport uses the following "methodology": in the morning you are told what to do, and in the evening you report status to managers. And, because propaganda is important, they say it is Scrum (just with one day sprints).

Pros

Smart and interesting people back when Eddie was still the owner. Beer after work almost every day - good team spirit and a great culture. Annual company trip to some place in Europe was nice. Office environment was top-notch, with open desk for even management. Pantry always had lots of food for the staff to freely consume. A few of my old colleagues become team leads, so there must still be some good people around!

Cons

Pay was not too good; as technical consultant work sometimes gets boring and repetitive; client director back then was snobbish and a little arrogant.
