Pros
- you can meet some nice people, especially the People Team - you can work with cloud in a bank, with all the issues you can imagine - work/life balance can be achieved - the office is nice
Cons
- a lot of incompetent people on every level (from engineering till C-level management): barely anyone is willing to learn from mistakes, promotion and recognition is given based on who is louder, not what has been achieved - the tech stack is a joke, hard to introduce industry-standards - you almost never see blockchain or anything interesting at all [no IPs, no own ideas, mainly integration of 3rd parties] - C-level management is completely disconnected from the reality, and they are barely approachable - loads of bad practices in the engineering department, and people are not willing to learn/change - empower very inexperienced people, and they deliver crap at the end for loads of money - there is zero career opportunity - the compensation is well below the standard - company values are a joke, they sound really great, but in reality not working at all - there is no compensation change / valuable feedback talk / personal development options - the teams are working in silos, barely talking to each other - Scaled Agile is the worst thing ever, but for some reason at Sygnum, people loves this kind of waterfall and call it "agile"
