Pros

It is difficult to give a pro about this company, they had such an opportunity to create great technology and they lost it.

Cons

asked us to cancel our Xmas holidays to meet a deadline, this is not the first time they have done this to me. Never ask us our opinions on anything. code monkey mentality from the managers. moves people around teams every couple of weeks, no continuity. new senior management coming in, all from the same company and are begging to outsource everything. clueless communication, even if there is a plan(which i doubt) nobody knows what it is.

Pros

Most of the 'old timer' engineers are gone and the new engineers don't have any of the bad habits of the past. The new engineers that have been hired in the past 2 years are really strong and have improved the product and code base. The new management team (CEO/CTO) all know way more about fintech than the old managers and will be able to make the company profitable again. Office in London is in a great location, weekly beers are great.

Cons

Company has been through 2 rounds of redundancies which was hard for a lot of people to deal with. Redundancies are done now and the next year is going to be hard work to get the company back to making money again.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review, and I’m glad you had a positive experience working with us! The last couple of years have definitely presented their challenges for us but, while it is always tough to go through change, we have a really positive future ahead. It’s great to hear that you look back on your time with us with pride and I wish you all the best with your future roles.

Pros

So much flexibility...one of the first companies I've worked at where I feel there is scope to shape my career into what I'd like it to be

Cons

A lot of employees who have been around for a while through bumpy times that need a bit of a moral boost...
