Not bad
|
|
For QA folks:
Steady stream of work
Reasonable balance between work life- since work is not overly challenging
A great place to work if you are NOT looking for challenges in your career or any sort of career growth
Middle management employees tend to stick around forever and rarely provide an opportunity for promotion by attrition.
|
One mans poison is another mans elixir.
The Pros mentioned above could be Huge Cons for some.
1For Functional Folks- You hit a plateau very soon and its a struggle to keep the motivation up since there is nothing much to learn .
2 Growth potential is very rare- and if you dont enjoy testing the same set of features or executing the same tests again and again - This is NOT the place for you.
Certain aspects may have changed since their aquisition by Thomson Reuters so my update may be outdated.

Advices in Proffesional circle is useless- especially an advice propogated via a third party site.
So I leave the higher management to do what they do best and run their own show.

Great learning experience
|
|
FXall has an extremely talented staff, a great customer base, strong product offering and free coffee. The CEO has an excellent view on where the industry is heading and is well connected to the banks that use the FXall platform.
|
At times, FXall is a stressful work environment. Many of the teams are too thinly staffed to achieve expected results or handle unanticipated challenges that arise.

Since it is rather small company there is a good visibility considering work efforts, inter-group
communication does help in solving problems.
|
Quite a lot of them.
- Managment is biased and technically speaking - not too technical where it should be.
- Profit margin level score takes precedence over the wellness of employees
- Some key-decisions seem to be detached from reality.

Take more seriously current needs and rewarding. This appies to many areas. I'd name 3 of them:
- technical - obsolote equipment does not help in strategic goals achievement
- hr - employees who are overachievers - expects the same from the company in return
- proffesional - need to invest in business/technology areas, so it will pay off in a long run.

Weigh your options, take it if you need it just watch out for a few things
|
|
Good business model
Kitchen area
Plenty of clients
|
Too many group hires leads to factions
Unstable management. People come in, stay a bit, install their friends and leave
Your career depends not upon skill, merit or hardwork but having the right connections
Employees not respected, viewed as perishable items with short shelf life
Too many programmers without any management experience are left free to make management decisions.

Stop letting people hire their friends or old colleagues & create a fair environment.
Realize that software creation or programming and delivery of service are distinct responsibilities and most people will not do both well.
With periods of no management things are bound to suffer for that very reason, you don't need to find another reason
