Pros

Pay is really good here, ask high if you got a job offer.

Cons

No client yet, there is a recent retrenchment that laid off almost half of the software development team. The leadership team is not well experienced and lacks sound decision-making at times. Too many people love to talk here which makes us accomplish less. People tend to leave this company in a very short period of time, we're talking days or weeks here.

Pros

There was no clear or proper explanation of procedures at any stage.Previously, deposits made directly into my account often took a long time, so they suggested using OTC trades instead. Initially, this worked well. However, since the New Year, the situation has changed drastically.I made a large deposit into my account, fully known to the company in advance. Without any prior notice or warning, my funds were suddenly placed on hold. For the past nine days, I have repeatedly tried to get an update or clarification, but there has been no meaningful response. They continue to send the same generic messages, and in recent days they have completely ignored my emails.There is no way to contact them by phone—only by email, which they appear not to monitor. This shows absolute disregard for clients and a highly unprofessional approach.I have never experienced anything like this before. I am already discussing this matter with Financial Ombudsman (FOS) in order to address the irresponsible handling of this situation. Be extremely cautious with this company. They are still holding a significant amount of my funds, with no proper updates provided and a complete lack of respect for their clients

Cons

There are many things that needs to be changed with this company.
