Great place to work if you enjoy getting stuff done - Anonymous employee Baker Technology Employee Review

If you want to earn a very respectable day-rate, and do very little for your effort, you've come to the right place. The bar is VERY low here, the front-end knowledge of pretty much everyone I interacted with was junior/entry level at best. You can be a very mediocre developer & look like a god here, so if you like your ego stroked by ageing yet very junior technical people, look no further.

A huge lack of knowledge with modern Javascript/Front-end development practises. Most of the developers here are re-purposed, single-finger typing C# 'developers' who couldn't answer even basic entry-level Javascript interview questions. Nobody knew how scope worked. The vast majority of 'complex' work that goes on here is over-engineering, because people are so inexperienced with Javascript/Typescript/SPA framework of choice. Their Git knowledge was also abysmal. Nobody could use git in a terminal, only sourcetree. Nobody knew how to rebase a branch properly or handle conflicts. There was only one other developer I met that had any experience with the features of ES6, and nobody knew how to write or structure even basic CSS (no knowledge of pre-processors like LESS or SCSS).

Great, friendly team to work with, very experienced in delivering complex trading systems so great team to learn from. The work was always always interesting and challenging. If you have any ideas for how things can be improved, your encouraged to voice these, and implement them as well. Its not just about getting the features out of the door asap, then moving on to the next, they are constantly reviewing and improving as they go. The directors manage the projects day to day running, and I thought this was done very well. There's no red tape, bureaucracy, or pointless meetings which means you will get to code almost 100% of the time. I can highly recommend Baker Technology as a place to work, and would happily work there again.

Nothing that I can think of.
