Company going through internal changes

Engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

1) The company is doing fine. 2) Salary and Benefits are good. 3) The new office in London is great. 4) Technical people are good

Cons

1) The company is going through a move to the US in the engineering department so not great time for UK staff. 2) The Infrastructure has grown complex and it's not always organic. 3) Teams are a sometimes too compartmentalized with too specific functions and not much collaboration. 4) Way too many levels of management and too many meetings. 5) Lots of big projects decided from higher ups and forced or unrealistic deadlines.

Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting work, decent pay, lots of potential

Cons

Inflexible working patterns, cherry picking feedback and ignoring elephants in the room, change is often forced through by making life harder rather than on the merits of the change, benefits are skewed towards parents

From a great company to a horrible place

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

At the moment… none compared to other funds: XTX, HRT, Jane Street, Citadel, MWAM. Salary gets good if you stick around for 5/6 years, but also who wants to stay there for 5/6 years when you get much higher salaries elsewhere?

Cons

Very hierarchical place. The only career progression that makes sense is in management, but there are way too many managers. Senior management uses engineers like pawns. There is a reason why this company has 3.5 on glassdoor😅 (even with the fake reviews of HR).
