Junior Python Developer Interview Experience
September 3, 2020
Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I received the online assessment (OA) and completed it quite well, passing all test cases relatively quickly. A few days later, I received a rejection stating that the test results did not meet the minimum standard. I'm unsure what that standard is.
They should conduct resume screening before sending out numerous OAs.
Questions
Received a few coding challenges.

Helpful Team, Pay Too Low
Junior Software Developer • Former Employee
Sydney, Australia
March 30, 2023
Pros: Most people are nice to work with and super helpful. However, it's a bit of a gamble, as your environment/WLB will largely depend on which team you land on.
Slightly better WLB than similar trading firms.
There is a healthy obsession with QoL features, such as build, which is nice for devs.
Cons: * Relatively low pay compared to other firms.
* Some code is poorly written (especially in older software), which can lead to a bad time if you have to work with it.
* High attrition, both by choice and by force (there was a recent mass layoff with zero warning).
* Little to no documentation and a lack of focus on it. Also, nobody really cares much about testing. Combined with high attrition, this makes for an inefficient work environment.
* A relatively high proportion of devs are expected to support traders.

Nice Views, Incompetent Management
Software Developer • Former Employee
January 12, 2023
Pros: Nice views from the office.
Generally nice and young environment to work in.
Cons: Management is incompetent; they over-hire and then fire everyone or rescind offers.
There is tons of nepotism, as described by others on Glassdoor.
Pay is low compared to competitors.
