Pros

Intelligent people at just about every level. High degree of technology though the environment is locked down a bit. Indexing business makes money without trying and is thus the prized group. A sales company disguised as a financial tech company.

Cons

Lot of in-house applications which is ok but lead to random bugs. Tech decisions are all done out of the cadre in London while the implementation is done by a team in Budapest. Service Desk based in Mumbai can often lead to frustration. Hope you're looking for a position with the indexing side, otherwise look out.

Pros

Some really smart people who are the top of their field. Fairly flexible approach to working Good Technology Infrastructure internally to enable the above.

Cons

Attempts to outsource to developing nations means those teams are isolated from the rest of the other teams, those teams don't understand how the company operates, what is key and important, and what is more trivial, and who the clients are. Technology can only innovate if you employ the best people, you cannot find these unless you get them from the best places. Mumbai is not good enough.
