A fairly collaborative environment with some very smart people A lot to learn since much of the trading system software is currently in flux Not expected in-office more than 2-3 days a week on average Catered lunch in-office every day, and catered breakfast Tuesday/Thursday
Management tends to promote arrogant personalities that take credit for other people's work after getting help behind closed doors, rather than share it after openly collaborating. Management style focuses on everyone's weak points rather than playing to their strengths. Serves as a convenient excuse for bonus payouts well under target percentage. Misses opportunities to use those strengths Sometimes vanity projects get higher priority over work that could actually improve the trading system ~70 employees have left since the beginning of 2021 (and that's not including layoffs in 2023). Some of the software is still critical, but unable to be actively maintained since the original authors have left.
