great people to work with, good perks, interesting industry

Cons

plenty of politics and no real management, changes so often that there is no chance to make the work better or achieve anything, lots of promisses and expectations

I Enjoy Working Here

Pros

Great people, free breakfast, weekend away once a year, social events. Opportunities to learn, good induction and buddy system for technical staff on the operations side. Flexible working on the development side, Scrum implemented. Self-learning and organisation promoted. After reading some of the reviews on here even I would be anxious to attend an interview if I was looking for employment but it’s really not that bad. Some of the reviews have come from people who were leaving the company. In some cases they have been the cause of their own unhappiness during a period of change that they did not embrace (and sometimes actively worked against). The best thing about working here is that if you have the right attitude, work hard and think outside the box, you are supported in your ideas. Especially if you want to change something for the benefit of everyone. I have also seen people start out in one area of the business and flourish in another because they had the right skills, wanted to push themselves or try something different.

Cons

Pressure can be high at times on the operations side, especially for the support teams and consultants but no more than expected. General office politics and communication issues between senior management and team leads.

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).
