Financial Engineer - Anonymous employee R2 Financial Technologies Employee Review

Some of the smartest people in the industry are your colleagues. The teams work hard together to success. They are supportive of each other personally and professionally. I worked for the company for three years as a Financial Engineer. I was able to get the most diverse hands on experience in sales, presales and product development and work as a leader on teams made up of people with different backgrounds and strengths. The management team has worked hard to create transparency and uniformity in the company and they continue to take feedback from the employees to create a better working atmosphere. Employee morale is a big emphasis for the management and there are monthly events to build a closer team.

There are times that it feels you are stalk doing the same thing over and over. This happens at a software company where new ideas and work is being developed. Testing and QA are a part of the job, even if not the most exciting. The upside is, everyone is always thinking of ways to minimize the mundane work and have the employees spend their time doing interesting work.

Diverse, friendly & talented colleagues. Creative, collaborative culture. Interesting projects require mix of interpersonal & intellectual skills. Attractive office space. No dress code. Company tries to be a meritocracy with effort & talent noticed & rewarded where possible. Intelligent, management team have good intuition, knowledge & judgement. Excellent prospects for company growth. Parent company is providing appropriate support to expand the business according to a sensible & realistic plan. Good communication between different teams: sales, financial engineering, professional services, user experience & development teams. Generous benefits.

Like any tech or financial company, the job requires a constant effort to keep up with the latest programming technologies & pricing & risk management techniques. We all need to be patient while effort we put in to improve the product today gets translated into success & continuing growth tomorrow.
