For people that work at one of these companies in London, can you comment about career progression, compensation progression and skill development while working at those companies? Do you see yourself improving significantly throughout the years of working there?
While there are several reviews in Glassdoor they mostly refer to US offices and there are not enough data points for London. HRT has definitely a better rating in Glassdoor but does this difference also hold for London?
I am referring to SWE roles but all answers are welcome.

I know less about HRT, but I recently got an offer for algo dev in London from them (that I declined), and so I have spoken to many people at the company. They also seem like a great bunch, and I somehow felt like it was very much like Jump, but more collaboratively structured. Do note that their London office is very small compared to their NY one, whereas Jump already has a solid presence in the UK.
In most cases, there is no useful concept of "career progression" - you just get better at doing things, and you get payed accordingly. Structures are very flat, so there is no obvious way "upward".
I'm not entirely sure about comp progression, but I can't see how that would be an issue either with these firms - insane TC both places.
Skill improvement: at HRT you will probably be doing many varied projects and learn a lot - at Jump, you will also learn a lot; it just depends on what kind of team you join; in a small team, you will probably be doing a bit of everything, whereas a larger team will allow for more specialisation.
Lastly, remember that these firms are more similar than they are different, except HRT being very collaborative, and Jump being very siloed.
Do you have offers from any of these firms at the moment?
