Not a good place for .NET developers
Not a good place for .NET developers
The office is in a good location.
The CEO is a nice guy that is doing a good job in transforming the company into a bank.
The .NET stack has been neglected in favour of Java/Kotlin rewrites of most services.
As a result, several .NET devs have left over the last 12 months. This leaves Zopa in a vulnerable position because the core of the P2P business still runs on .NET. I suspect that the remaining few .NET devs will also check out over the coming months, as better opportunities are available in London.
P2P investors/lenders have seen little improvement to the slow user experience and confusing dashboard. This is due to an ongoing controversial rewrite of the investor platform which shows no sign of being complete any time soon.
The marketing material is often cringe-inducing!
