Pros
Good training for new hires
Cons
The firm's either great or awful, depending on which team you end up on. The lucky people who joined early are now managers of the desks, some are great while others have no clue about management, barely shows up to work, and only promote those with glib tongues. The firm also hires high numbers of internationals in need of EB5 and significantly under pay them knowing they are less likely to leave. Very low base...

Don't let the desk heads write the only reviews; if unscrupulous, they will exaggerate everyone else's faults so they keep a higher % of the desk earnings.

Pros
Quiet work environment. They order in decent lunches and breakfast for employees. Nice coffee machine. Location across from Union Station is convenient.
Cons
Almost no women are employed here. 90% men. Lots of people drink on the job. They dress very casual for an office environment, like they are at home doing laundry. They are disorganized and gossipy, but that is most likely because most employees are recent graduates with no prior professional experience or immigrants trying to stay in the country on work visas. These people have no sense of urgency, and then when...

You need a real Human Resources group that understands employment law. You’re putting yourselves at risk by operating in such disorganized manner. Write and communicate company policy and expectations better. Hire women and pay women equal to men.

Pros
Free lunch is nice, some smart people, annual ski trip benefit.
Cons
If you are a STL (Algo Trader) be prepared for sub par payout and to be out compensated by "RV" traders. RV traders are the jock old school type of traders who actually just turn on the trade and do nothing else. Also you only get paid 50% of your bonus. I think this is the case for everyone at transmarket. If you are a competent programmer, I would never come here of you can avoid it. Seriously. You'll be out earned...

Pros
Excellent relative value trading firm built for the long run. Our CEO Doug Adams does a tremendous job managing risk and treats all employees fairly. The people and the culture are the key behind TransMarket Group's success. Individuals are creative, ambitious, and always strive to do things better. A select few are truly world class in their discipline. Our firm has an entrepreneurial, team-oriented culture and...

If you're interested in job titles, this is not the place for you. TransMarket Group doesn't have the same name recognition as a major investment bank. Management doesn't spend money on expensive office space (would rather allocate the money to employees in year end bonuses).
Advice to Management
Keep doing what you're doing
