Pros

Opportunities to not only learn and grow in ones expertise area in product development but also explore other aspects of product development. One also gets opportunities to drive or be involved in corporate initiatives irrespective of seniority.

Cons

Need to come up with more structured programs for skill development outside of day to day work.

Pros

Besides the views from the office..not a lot. Many employees from the taken over companies are experienced, smart, hard working people, who get the short end of the stick, and the owner is oblivious to this.

Cons

So many to mention. They have created this NEW page under ION Group. Anyone out there looking for a career here should read the reviews of ION Trading. You will find a good one here and there, however rest assured that these were written by the crop of graduates that have hired over the past 3-4 years at management mandate. They recently let go a large amount of staff via text and email on New Years Eve. The ones let go from Wallstreet had over 75 years of expertise and experience. What does this say to the remaining staff? Hard work and loyalty gets you nothing. Many employees from acquired companies have received NO raises or bonuses for many years.

Pros

There are some smart workers and company events are not bad. If you are in a grad program you might like it for a little while

Cons

This is just a new page to hide the original Glassdoor page (ION Trading) but it’s the same company. It’s Very obvious that grads run the company and they are the only employees who have any klout with the CEO/execs. Any positive reviews are probably written by them. Getting employees to work for as little pay as possible is what the company is about. Salaries are low and raises are barely given out to even those who work the hardest. The CEO is not a good man. Business people can care about money and their employees too but this man does not. Management does not care or listen. They care more about useless data than actually making the company less terrible. You are promised a bonus but it’s very unlikely that you will get one and if you do you might as well have not gotten one at all. Benefits are not great and some people have a 401k match and some don’t. Some are trying to boost morale but it’s hard when tons of employees are fired on New Years Day. People do not write reviews because they are bored it is just to warn good people. You can do better
