Pros
Etrading Software is a high intensity workplace delivering regulatory and functional infrastructure solutions to the Derivative and Primary Markets. This review specifically relates to working within the Derivatives Service Bureau (DSB): - The DSB was built to service 100% of the Derivatives industry in its need to meet MiFID II reporting requirements through ISIN reporting - Highly political climate requires a high attention to detail and management involvement but also means exposure to all facets of industry and results in a challenging but rewarding scope of work - High level exposure to industry representatives and regulatory bodies - Wide scope of development work on the horizon to maximise the usefulness of the ISIN for industry - Ability to value add very quickly if your understanding of the Derivatives market is extensive - Dealing with industry representatives and regulators is a good exercise in diplomacy! - Fantastic group of professionals who interact in very positive and effective manner - Partners are very well connected in the industry which regularly promotes the development of new business opportunities
Cons
- Being cost recovery, the team can run light in terms of resources which leads to some long days - Dealing with conflicting industry agendas and opinions can prove frustrating & time consuming
