Pros

Varied and interesting projects to work on, never a quiet moment. Opportunities for talents and knowledge to impact on career. The chance to see how your work helps to develop the company. Good pay, bonus available, and other benefits and social events. Great office to work in and great people to work with.

Cons

At times notice of projects and time to get them complete can be short but its keeps the pace of work up. Training available but more would be good.

Pros

I feel generally very motivated and engaged working here. There is a clear strategy, autonomy within delivery to execute on it and a relaxed and fun workplace with regular team building/social events. The technical and solutions teams work well together, the roadmap exposes most people to new/cutting edge tech regularly and the company has a very good standing in the industry amongst well regarded clients. I’m surprised by the recent negative reviews and feel that they are unfair and pernicious. It’s clear the company has gone through a lot of change in the last few years. None of these changes appear to me anything apart from the normal steps needed to improve performance, nurture growth and safeguard the business for future growth. A small minority of staff seem to have taken issue with some of it and left as a result. It’s certainly not a place that lacks direction, nor is there “toxic” atmosphere; that couldn’t be farther from the truth!

Cons

Having a higher amount of regulation with the parent company sometimes causes FundsLibrary to be less agile in its own right. Sometimes - as with most digital solutions firms - the projects are more sales-orientated than product driven but this is continuing to change for the better over time.

Pros

Standard of the development team is high Good technical leadership Promotes doing the right thing Relaxed environment

Cons

Owned by Hargreaves Lansdown who apply a lot of company wide policies that don't fit a tech company Poor benefits Internal promotions on the business side have put a number of individuals in positions they are not suited for Seems to be a definite lack of good commercial decision making Anything controlled by HL takes forever to change eg replacing 5+ yr old development machines was an 18month and counting farce Opportunities for career progression
