Business Outlook
Pros
Jump has world-class HFT infrastructure, generous compensation, and a meritocratic culture. They are high volume participants in many markets and are especially big players in futures. The depth of industry experience and the quality of in-house development are huge advantages at Jump. I worked at Jump for close to 6 years, left on good terms, and always felt that I was treated very well.
Cons
Trading teams at Jump operate largely independently of each other. This increases personal accountability and the motivation to generate new sources of P&L, but it comes at the expense of knowledge-sharing between groups.
