Great place to work

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Super smart colleagues, interesting work, great comp. Company is very ambitious and doesn't want to rest on its laurels which is pretty rare at this size. Tech stack is a mix of cutting edge and legacy systems so not really a pro or con, you get to use some very cool tech but also need to be willing to get your hands dirty. Also I don't doubt other recent reviews as teams vary massively, but personally my team is very diverse, my code has been running on Linux for years and I've never had the pleasure of meeting anyone from Deutsche Bank.

Cons

There's a big split in the company between research facing roles and everyone else, and there shouldn't be. Poorly managed replatforming project has wasted a lot of time over the past few years. Communication could be better sometimes.

Mind the gap

Senior software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

A lot of clever engineers and few decent managers to work with. The company is very ambitious and there is an opportunity to get involved with many different areas. Very strong research and actual end-to-end quant firm.

Cons

Engineering leadership is in a really bad shape. In the past few years, there's been steady influx of politicians from some horrific shops like Facebook or Credit Swiss and they are prioritizing their personal agendas at the expense of what actually needs to be done. Career progression is severely limited and the environment is mostly toxic although that depends on the area that you work in.
