Interesting technologies developed by the R&D team in London

• Working in delivery alternates between weeks of boredom then sudden assignments to projects with tight schedules and super high stress levels.
• You often have to work outside of working hours to run lengthy spark jobs, but you have to do it on the down low.
• Projects follow a very heavy weight cookie cutter pattern that requires extremely long compile times. IntelliJ Idea is the preferred IDE, but sometimes takes 20 minutes of indexing before you can interact with code.
• Average developer age < 30 years, so if you're 45 or older, you will have difficulty fitting in.
• Unhealthy drinking culture.
• A lot of lip service towards being family-oriented, but if medical difficulties require missing many meetings, negatives will appear in your reviews.
• Constant company propaganda takes away from what substance they have.

Develop a less superficial culture.

Constant satisfaction surveys are meaningless if nothing ever changes in response to them. Don't move people around from project to project willy-nilly like pawns.
