It used to be a good place pre new management.
The work is very chill, but there is not enough work and too many people were hired recently.
New grad pay for next year has been adjusted and is now significantly higher than senior pay.
Management has been brought in from IT investment banking, making things much worse — they are extremely out of touch.
Poor technology stack — having to RDP into a Windows “box” to resolve production issues.
Treated as second-class by traders and quants; you’re effectively called “IT support,” which reflects reality since the Sydney office does no real development — only occasional config changes.
Tech stability is bad and has been getting worse recently under new management.
If you’re a grad, join almost any other company. Ask seniors about “progression” at this firm — you may already be starting on a higher number than them. How can you expect to progress if your starting salary exceeds that of people with 10+ years of experience?
Get rid of the new management.
Standard developer interview process, screen call, light technical, technical, design, final. Recruitment side were horrible to deal with, and the leaders in the final interview were rude. Strong look of contempt from an interviewer in final intervi
The process took a long time and was inefficient. After the final round of interviews, the recruiter simply ghosted the candidate. It is very bad compared to interviews with other trading firms.
Easiest set of interview in my life and got the offer... but I didn't proceed after hearing about the company culture. 1. Phone screen 2. Technical test - I didn't even do the test..lol 3. Set of technical interviews. Once you heard the first quest
