Pros
pros? experience with most up to date trading technologies, direct contact with exchanges as ISV, but this is nothing ION specific but default in this industry...
Cons
I can't add anything new which is not in previous reviews. Our company was aquired by ION more than half year ago. Everything goes worse since this. 1.) existing bonus scheme was removed without any replacement (just with some undefined promises which are postponed by month every month) efectively loosing about 20% of income 2.) allowed annual leave reduced by couple of days 3.) weekly working hours extended 4.) base salary stays same 6.) NDA on every piece of information 7.) every decision has to go through ION top management and took really really long, including hiring people to non management roles (teamleaders etc, how we can hire good people when we have to end interview with sentence like this "we are very interested in you but you have to be approved by our mother company ION. Don't expect answer sooner than after 60 days...") 8.) almost no communication from top level management, hiding their faces, I don't expect ION chairman will do personal handshake with every 3500 employees but he should show his face at least once during company aquiring, so we will not have a feeling we are in some sort company runs by mafia or so.
