Pros

- Decent salary if you can stand all the nonsense

Cons

- Non-existent engineering culture. Technically a fintech company but rather a lot more fin than tech. - Huge bureaucracy with strict processes that do not match real world needs. - Well meant but misguided team performance metrics tied to yearly bonuses creating cobra effects to game the metric rather than fulfill their spirit. - Lots of pointless social meetings that while not explicitly mandatory, not attending is frowned upon. - While incorporated in the UK, most of the engineering seems natively spanish speaking with bad english. - Staff I’ve interacted with hold job titles way above their actual skill level. - They are drowning in technical debt, including the code in the new architecture that’s supposed to solve it.

Pros

Majority of people are great

Cons

Allows racism and sexism on a daily basis. Some managers would refer to women as b****, say that Asians eat rats, and use the R-word constantly. I was made fun of because of my race on a daily basis, and heard managers use mocking racist accents all the time.
