Pros: Good work life balance Quite social

Cons: Strange decisions are made and senior management acts like they have no agency to change it. They make it hard to leave, which has the effect that many people (especially senior management) don't really want to be there causing a negative atmosphere.

Pros: There are lots of smart people and access to hardware, which makes it worth joining as a quant.

Cons: The company literally spends money to stop people talking to each other. It is not a collaborative culture.

Pros: - Fantastic work/life balance (it's never been suggested that I need to work a single hour over my 40 hour contract) and decent benefits including plenty of paid holiday - Highly competitive compensation, significantly more so than existing salaries on Glassdoor would suggest. - Varied work with a range of tasks keeps things interesting - Pretty relaxed low-stress, no-blame workplace where engineers and managers are focused on solving problems together instead of pointing fingers.

Cons: - Limited WFH to only a few days a month for some roles was implemented. - Major restructuring recently has left a significant operational support burden for many teams. - Historically tight security policy and everything being integrity controlled can make it harder to make new things.
