Not great for software engineers

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Nice campus. - Great benefits. - Amazing retirement contribution matching (though the vesting period is long -- 5 years). - Good place to end your career before you retire.

Cons

You don't get a laptop. You get a virtual machine running on repurposed old on-prem servers. So slow and laggy that basic tasks are difficult. It's not like using a VM in Azure or AWS -- this is much worse. For example, there's dedicated packet capture hardware in the network path that adds a ton of latency to all traffic. The networking architecture looks like a Gordian Knot. Probably fine for people who only use Outlook and Chrome but not appropriate for software development. If a decent computer is important to you, do not work here.

Tech - Great work/life balance, bad tech practices

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- 2 days in office policy. Relatively informal policy too but depends on the team - Well compensated for tech in asset management - 9-5:30 culture. Hardly anyone in the office after 6 - If you are in the right team you can get some good exposure to technologies

Cons

- For the team I am on, there are some seriously bad development practices. These are not opinions, they are just the basics. - Duplication everywhere, lack of thought around DRY/SOLID principals - Bad/non repeatable and unmaintainable tests - Inconsistent and bad designs and inherently dependent on batch processes. My team specifically refuse to consider event driven architectures - A lot of micromanagement and distrust between business, tech and between team leads and developers - Company has lack of real engineering mindset - Solutions often re-hashed between multiple teams - Lack of development due to lack of appreciation of above concepts. Career progression internally is purely political and not skill based

Work with friendly talented people

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Quite flat structure; you can freely approach people without the "proper channels" being expected. Open to adopting new technology when a practical case can be made. Working with very talented people under a culture of humility and respect for each other. Debates are settled by reason & logic and you will be heard.

Cons

Learning curve of in-house tools and jargon to be learnt, but people will help you
