Fantastic workplace

Technology (Current Employee)
Philadelphia, PA

I have been working at Susquehanna International Group full-time for more than 8 years

ProsIdeal for self-motivated people not afraid to challenge themselves. For these people the sky is the limit. Culture encourages great trader/technology collaboration.

ConsNot a great fit for people who need artificial structure to feel important

Advice to Senior Management$0.50 is too much for soda. Bring back the quarter!

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

If only it wasn't in Philadelphia.

Software Developer (Former Employee)
Bala Cynwyd, PA

I worked at Susquehanna International Group full-time for less than a year

ProsAcceptance of a diverse range of technologies "whatever gets the job done" allows for an exciting and constantly learning environment.

Very agile working environment that can pivot quickly as business needs require.

... And the free lunch is nice also.

ConsA pro for many, but the city that close was not a plus for me. Traffic and general big city issues.

Great Education, Fun Work Life, Underpaid

Anonymous Employee (Current Employee)

I have been working at Susquehanna International Group full-time

ProsSusquehanna provides a great learning environment throughout your career, and if you ever uncover interesting trading situations, they are happy to entertain trading them. You will be among very smart people, and you will be challenged and paid well.

ConsYou may feel that the smartest people at SIG are actually the ones that leave. So you are left with traders that are happy with settling down and they may have less ambition than other trading firms.
