Pros

I just hit my 6 month mark at Trade Republic, and I have been enjoying it so far. I work in a great team with really smart colleagues, which gives me a chance to learn a lot. The tech stack is extensive and challenges you to take initiative and learn, which is great. The salaries are above average, benefits are not so great in my opinion. My team is flexible about coming to the office, this can be different per team. There is a chance to work anywhere in the world, for a limited time of course but still great.

Cons

No lunch or canteen at the office, results in us spending more on lunch as the office is located in a central area. Some colleagues can be subtly aggressive, but I guess that's more of a them problem. Employee training is not valued at all, if you want growth, you have to chase after it yourself

Pros

1. Smart people 2. Company is growing 3. People are professional and motivated

Cons

1. Forced curve means you can work hard and be fired. 20% of the company is fired for performance every 12 months. This leads to politics, the more senior you get. Got unlucky to not work on a critical project - potentially fired. Others in the team are older and better adjusted with management - potentially fired. 2. Salary is not premium enough to justify the effort and risk. You can get a bad rating for being unlucky to be in wrong team or project. 3. No engineering leadership 4. They downlevel you during hiring and promotions take more than hard work and delivery. 5. Senior, Mid all are rated together. Very tough to get rated and promoted as a junior. Overall thankless and similar effort anywhere else would get you more scope, growth, compensation. If you don't want to work hard, then this is not the place for you. If you want to work hard, you could grow more elsewhere.
