Pretty good benefits

Pros

Benefits are pretty good, nice working hours, coworkers aren't too bad, good place to learn, nice working environment overall.

Cons

Management is less good. Micro manage. No cohesion within business. Little chance for responsibility or progression. Lack of organisational clarity and weirdly corporate for such a small company. The main draw back of this company is micromanagement though, it would benefit if freedom of expression and initiative was encouraged. There should be a mutual trust built between employees and management

Pros

Trayport is a fascinating place to work. Unique position means it offers employees the chance to fastrack experience and knowledge in technology, trading and energy all at once. Atmosphere - friendly, non-hierarchical and fun. Culture - very pleasant and fairly intellectual Compensation - pretty reasonable really Work-life balance - well-considered and there is flexibility in time-off and work practices. While the whole business has been in transition for the last couple of years... and there is no doubt still more to come... Trayport remains an excellent opportunity for those willing to look beyond pettiness or politics and see the bigger picture.

Cons

Transitional periods always polarise things and in Trayport's case this is no different. There is a lot the business could do better; there is a lot it does do better than 3 years ago. Not the clearest pathway for personal growth - you'll have to push to get where you want to go. Too many exceptional people leave as their next step upwards, since they can't find the opportunity internally. Remuneration often becomes a factor, when personal growth isn't optimal, and that seems the case here, especially for the best performers in the business.

Pros

The people! Finding the right people to join their team seems to be very important at Trayport and as such they have some truly talented people who constantly drive and challenge those around them. Trayport is a fun and social place to work and I genuinely enjoyed working with everyone there. There is also opportunity to develop your skills and for promotion. Trayport seems to have a decent training budget and we were encouraged to go on courses or run training internally. Great benefits, I’ve never worked anywhere like Trayport when it comes to benefits, work-life balance and support. Trayport is a successful and stable company and it was great to be a part of that success. Since leaving Trayport I have worked for companies where people under constant fear of redundancy and cutbacks. In my 3 years at Trayport (over the GFC) we continued to grow, hired new staff, tried new things, got pay rises, there’re not many companies that did that over the GFC! Last year we moved into a new office and although I had left before the move I have popped in for a visit and it is awesome!

Cons

Like all companies there was at times some frustrating politics. There has been a lot of change over the last few years and although everyone at Trayport has worked hard to constantly improve the company and the way it works they haven’t always got it right. One thing I would say is that everyone at Trayport has the right intentions and seem to really care.
