Pros: All good here, no dramas.

Cons: There is none to recall, and all are good.

Pros: The chap who set the company up is a star, really clever, visionary. This permeated down the chain right to the ground floor.

Cons: Unfortunately, recently there has been a large influx of managers from Deutsche Bank who have transformed the company from an engineering powerhouse to a toxic political nightmare, commonly known in the company as the Deutsche Bank deadwood. Still quite a few clever people knocking about but with large layoffs on February 2023 it looks like most of the bright people are jumping ship, don't blame them.

Pros: Flexible time Good work-life balance Very bright people Management is respectful of its employees Almost unlimited budget for hardware Very good compensation and benefits Very resilient business

Cons: No working from home Strict security (although better than it used to be), oppressive sense of secrecy, lack of transparency especially around compensation; very corporate attitude Limited opportunities for growth and internal mobility A lot of legacy code and lack of new projects in some teams Rather hierarchical Lack of humility in some cases Not much diversity, most come from the same background
