Pros: It offered a good salary compared to other employers.

Cons: Company is constantly reorganizing. Currently spinning Dallas office to its own company. Dallas is just hands on keyboards while strategy and architecture are dictated from London office. Almost no culture. Basically Dallas is IT service group taking tasks from London.

Pros: There was competitive compensation, cutting edge tech, intelligent colleagues, a reasonable work/life balance, and a nice office with good perks.

Cons: Overly zealous security culture, pretty large variation across teams in management style and opportunities for advancement.

Pros: Free coffee and soft drinks are provided. Some of the technology used is the latest. Desks that go up and down are available.

Cons: Security overload without a consistent policy across the company, this leaves some teams scrutinised to an extreme degree and other teams left to create direct connections to the internet. This is both weird and slack. Far too many middle management creating pointless meetings and adding no value. Never worked for a company before with managers who only have two direct reports. This seems to be considered normal at G-Research. Having bizarre targets, the current target is that G-Research is number 1 in the world at doing something, but nobody in the company knows what that something is, just that it is to be number 1.
