G-Research Software Developer reviews

* General morale around the workplace is low, with quite a bit of social activity having been cut back and a general feeling of unease following events at the company earlier in the year. * Middle management and business administration roles have grown a lot at the company in recent years, which has impacted the ability of many teams to deliver. Either teams are now further away from the core business that prioritising important work can be hard, or valuable activities can be stopped just because they don't align with a roadmap. * Security has been a difficult journey for GR, and although it has improved it still impedes daily working. Whilst this is a trade-off the business chooses to make, it is still a source of frustration when people are stopped from doing a task as well as they otherwise could.

Outdated and inconvenient security practices Lack of transparency Paranoid environment / culture Layoffs (2023) Terrible middle management Recent influx of investment bankers Cumbersome internal processes Worst IaC implementation ever seen Office politics No flexibility No working from abroad
