Pros

Team coordination and office culture is good. People is friendly and nice to talk.

Cons

Cumbersome approval cycle: The lengthy sign-off process for frontline developers significantly hinders productivity. Legacy technology burden: Many teams still use outdated, non-portable tech stacks. Because large portions of the codebase are old, developers spend the bulk of their time on maintenance, limiting promotion opportunities and diverting resources from high-value projects. Limited innovation latitude: Ideas that stray from management’s established roadmap face a low acceptance rate. The culture prioritises rapid execution of predefined tasks, leaving developers in a predominantly tooling role rather than an innovative one.

Pros

Excellect company culture, beautiful offices, very good compensation and benefits, amazing opportunities for professional development

Cons

Very fast paced and innovative with high expectations, if you aren't a fast learner and highly adaptive you won't last here. It's a hedge fund so be prepared for some serious egos, but generally speaking the people are quite nice. They don't have a CFO, so it sometimes feels like central coordination/strategy is lacking to the back office finance function.
