Pros

Company offers really nice perks:

  • Gym
  • Lunches
  • Considerable bonuses
  • Any kind of snacks/drinks
  • A divvy bar with tapped beer or whisky if you prefer
  • Massage
  • Nutritionist consultation
  • Health checks

We even have our own boat (!), which anyone can take to explore Amsterdam canals.

The company is really open to invest into our professional development. As a software engineer, I get the opportunity to go to different conferences and have a separate budget for trainings/courses. I learn a lot from what I do day to day.

The company tries to continuously improve and take into account employees' feedback.

Cons

The job is hard, as every task has many unknowns. Sometimes, it is not clear what management expects from you. The trading environment is very fast-paced, and this is reflected in all the processes. There are a lot of security concerns (I guess for good reasons), and this impacts the software development process a bit.

Advice to Management

More guidance is needed for newcomers.
