Vantaggi
- Laid back, non-corporate atmosphere with very little hierarchy - Great colleagues, competent at their jobs, happy to collaborate and overall nice people - High autonomy in your day to day work, you structure your day/week yourself and periodically check in with your manager to make sure priorities are aligned - Taking on responsibility early is welcomed - Communication with your clients (the traders) extremely easy and direct, traders generally have a good understanding of the constraints developers work in - Frequent cross-office collaboration, this of course depends on your projects but shared projects are common - Extensive training and continuous learning programs, both by internal and external trainers - Very little internal competition - Very little red tape, knowledge and code are freely shared between teams. - Very little process in the way of getting things done, usually you can just "go ahead and do it" - Feedback and suggestions are always welcome regardless of your position or seniority within the company - Wild annual company trip with fun events in great locations
Svantaggi
- Lack of hierarchy sometimes leads to ad-hoc organization and unclear ownership - General "go ahead and do it" can take some getting used to if you are used to more formal processes - Amount of responsibilities can sometimes be quite high - Company is in growth mode, which has led to relatively few experienced developers left in the company
