Career maker! - Member Of Technical Staff Acceletrade Employee Review

Good work-life balance. Just average compensation in the HFT domain.

Nepotism, Egotism, Overconfidence and a lot of red tape. These are a few characteristics that best describe the management here. All the above characteristics lead to the bankruptcy situation of the firm. Everyone runs their own project in this firm. There is a severe lack of coordination between the teams. Also, the CEO is a big minus for this firm. He's an egotistic and overconfident person. There a lack of communication between the CEO and the managers of different teams. My experience with this company has been much below my expectations. I'm utterly disappointed with the work here. I will not recommend this company to anyone. Recently there was a mass layoff too due to prolonged losses in trading. This company is a classic example of "talent wasted due to massive mismanagement". HR here knows nothing. You will get stagnated in your career at this firm.

Founder was pretty clear of his vision for the firm, but rest of the people never aligned with the vision of the company. Flexible timings and easily approachable higher management.

Most people were from IITs and NITs but there was no zeal or hunger to move forward. Most of the people were busy in complaining about the firm or bullying the subordinates. Random decisions from the upper management , mixed with non- enthusiasm of the staff lead to unexpected layoffs. Leaving a dark spot on career of many.
