Cooperative & Open culture, even between investment desks.
On the startup <-> bank culture scale it's very close to the startup end: low bureaucracy, emphasis on delivery.
Senior management are accessible and approachable.
Not too big that you end up only focused on a very niche tech/area (like FAANG), but big enough that you still get to see challenging problems.
Technology is valued and not seen as second-class employees compared to investment.
Quality of other people you interact with is pretty high.
The flip side of low bureaucracy is being light on project management. Sometimes getting things done is really about finding the right person to talk to get your request prioritized.
While big data sets do exist, most of it is readily tractable just by being a decent dev. Don't come here expecting novel Google-scale work.
The interview process involved a coding challenge and simple multiple choice computing questions on HackerRank. The process took around 35 minutes to complete, with roughly 15 minutes spent on coding challenges.
Two technical screenings. The interviewers were very nice, and I felt at ease during the interviews. The content was challenging but manageable, and they were very happy to help when you got stuck.
The interview process was quite lengthy but I think fair. There were multiple technical and behavioural interviews and a final chat with a senior manager after which I was given an offer.
