Pros

Sun has been going through a period of change for some time now, but is now coming out of it stronger and more focused that it was before. Previous management focused on bringing in disparate teams, making many bets and hoping some would pay off, without taking into account the impact that the ensuing resource drain would have on the existing business. Some of those strategies paid off and are now successful, but many were not. It is no surprise, then, that non-performing traders have been let go. Indeed it is testament to the new leadership that they are making these difficult decisions, rather than continuing to invest to save face. So when you see ex-employees who are posting negative reviews on here, hopefully you get the context within which they are writing those reviews. Don't join Sun if you can't deliver on your revenue promises. If you can, join a professional, intelligent, hardworking, fun team and have a great time making money for yourself and your colleagues.

Cons

If you can't deliver, you will be found out. There are still a few legacy underperformers around but they are slowly being removed either directly or through attrition.

Pros

The software stack is efficient and scalable. Nice group of smart people that are fun to work and spend time with. Management understands the industry and making changes to move the company forward. Daily challenges create an exciting environment. Employees have the ability to see make an impact.

Cons

Communication across any global company is difficult. However, steps are being taken to increase efficiency through new technology solutions. Need to improve employee feedback loop.

Pros

Fast technology stack Reasonable people Small office in London means there is a chance to get responsibility quickly and own a large project Good benefits Full support/dev coverage in all regions so you won't get woken up at 3 am in vast majority of cases You get a decent amount of autonomy. People working here are smart. Most people I know are happy in the London office.

Cons

With a large number of changes the company has gone through some of the core technology was allowed to get a little messy. This slows down progress sometimes. It is however being actively addressed.
