FAQs
What technologies will I be working with?
- The programme is split into pathways, which determine the technologies you use. The vast majority of our technology is developed in-house. Our key languages include Java, JavaScript, Objective C, Swift and C++. You’ll have the opportunity to move between teams, work with different technologies and learn new languages.
Is the training provided focused on specific tools and programming languages? What about training based around concepts and practices?
Do I need to know JavaScript to work in a front-end role?
Does IG use Agile development methodologies?
What is the desktop environment?
- We use a mixture of high specification Mac and Windows laptops, and desks are equipped with twin monitors. Our Windows laptops have SSDs, because we know that short build cycles and responsive IDEs keep us in the Flow State for longer. Using laptops allows our people to work alongside their team, work on a challenge in one of our collaborative spaces or work from home.
