Pros

- Great colleagues - Decent internal communication

Cons

- Management overload. It's ridiculous. - Bureaucracy and conflicting processes inherited from the parent company (SIX). - HR should be renamd 'CR" (company relations). Well known within SDX, that HR (SIX and SDX) serve the company not the employees. - Lot of churn in Exec team. More to come. Misalignment and confusing messages cascaded by Exec team. - Process, process, process. The preference for process over outcomes is astounding. - Many employees largely unwilling and not capable to make decisions. Most decisions are often referred to several key people in Product, Business Analysis. - Highly political - Company is not independent but controlled by SIX. - Suffers poor decisions by the SIX executives. Numerous projects were forced to continue, despite SDX wanting to stop them, because SIX execs made terrible strategic decisions. Total waste of time and resources. - No (internal) visible strategy. Zero product differentiation, no benefits of SDX vs traditional players. There is literally no reason to use SDX. For a company this young, innovative and small, they should not be suffering from everything mentioned here.

Pros

SDX is building the future of Financial Market Infrastructure on Blockchain. It is not an easy task considering the internal and external resistance to change as well as the scepticism innovators are always confronted to. So this company is for forward looking AND patient people not afraid of challenges and regular changes. The building of this future is slow with a lot of headwinds, but resolute.

Cons

SDX struggles from reputation challenges (see previous comments) due to ever changing leadership and strategy. Since end 2022, this has changed with a strong leadership team and CEO. More SIX group level alignment would be welcome. It is starting but not yet at the right level. Compensation model too static.
