Pros

Courses and conferences for professional development, free lunch, in-house gym with personal trainers, massage

Cons

There is a friction between development and trading on one side, management on the other. Newly formed lower product management is trying to establish themselves, worried about their own position, not caring about the well being of their team or the product. A lot form, less content. Software engineers are considered an expense, while traders take credit for the profit. Noisy office.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. Your feedback is important to us. From your review, I see there are opportunities for us to work with our product managers and product owners about our approaches as a Technology department. I appreciate your willingness to be open and I am available to discuss any additional insight you’d like to share to ensure collaboration throughout our organization is productive and effective. I can only encourage people to raise their ideas and/or concerns in time and not only share them here. We are always trying to improve, so any sort of constructive criticism is welcome!

Pros

Very small company with flat hierarchy so you can do your own projects

Cons

Very non-systematic trading shop; most traders have little quantitative experience out of fast mental math, so it always underperforms competitors leading to extremely low salaries resulting in only poor quality traders and people stuck on visas reaching seniority
