Pros
I've been employed by Edge Technology for 2 years and work out of their London office. The clients are primarily Hedge Funds or Private Equity firms who use a mixture of Private/Hybrid and Public cloud technology which ensures you're always learning. Everyone that currently works for the company are technology enthusiasts and there's a great sense of camaraderie between engineers and departments. The senior management are approachable and the company understands people have lives outside of work, therefore, are accommodating when it comes to working from home and time off. Some of the company perks - - Free lunch from a choice of two local cafes - Daily fruit baskets delivered to the office - Fridges stocked with free soft drinks - Great selection of free biscuits (total must for myself) - Water dispensers around the office - Pool table in the office - Whiteboards for engineers everywhere - Isolation pods in the office for when you need to focus - Online technical training materials available - Great internal technical support network - Office is in a great location (Green Park) - Quarterly company parties
Cons
Like any company based in the financial sector things can at times be fast paced.
