Software Engineering Intern • Former Employee
London, United Kingdom
November 11, 2022
Pros: - Smart people
- Interesting work
- Good salary
Cons: A bit too privacy-centric, although I've heard they've eased off on this in the last couple of years
4.0
Great place to work
Engineering Management • Current Employee
October 27, 2020
Pros: I am UK based. There are talented people to work with. There is huge investment in technology. They offer great compensation and benefits.
Cons: Security has been painful, though that is getting better.
WFH not permitted before coronavirus, we are WFH now though and there are signs post-coronavirus policy will be more in line with competition.

From a great company to a horrible place
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
London, United Kingdom
May 7, 2024
Pros: At the moment… none compared to other funds: XTX, HRT, Jane Street, Citadel, MWAM.
Salary gets good if you stick around for 5/6 years, but also who wants to stay there for 5/6 years when you get much higher salaries elsewhere?
Cons: Very hierarchical place.
The only career progression that makes sense is in management, but there are way too many managers.
Senior management uses engineers like pawns.
There is a reason why this company has 3.5 on Glassdoor😅 (even with the fake reviews of HR).
