- 5.0Sep 7, 2023Software EngineerCurrent Employee, more than 3 yearsChicago, IL
Pros
- Work/life balance is emphasized here - Culture and values are strong. People are collaborative and supportive - Managers listen and relay comments/concerns/advice to relevant parties, and resolution (or an explanation) can be given reasonably fast
Cons
- Compensation, while being very good, lags behind other premier trading firms - Still shaking off some "covid rust", previous events and general feel at the firm were slow to come back. Progress is always being made here though

Got back to me immediately.

Entry level test was unlike anything I had seen before. It was incredibly difficult, I hadn't heard of any of the kind of programs they were requesting I write.

Excellent culture. Regular employee events and opportunity to interact with coworkers outside of work. Volunteer opportunities within the firm to give back to the community. Amazing employee kitchen that includes free breakfast, lunch, and snacks. Friendly environment that encourages responsible risk taking. Diverse employees with varying interests supported through the firm including chess tournaments, tennis tournaments, cooking classes, etc. Lots of educational opportunities.

Technology has some room to improve, but this has been a focus of the firm in recent years. I ate too much.
