      Pros

      Extremely smart and driven people in both trading and technology depts., very competitive compensation, good training, fast paced environment, good work/life balance, opportunity to own equity, good benefits both in and out of work (massages, free lunch, company outing, health insurance, 401k match, etc.)

      Cons

      Work didn't seem meaningful, leadership is inconsistent, soft skills are undervalued, company is unknown outside of the trading industry, trading has a rough reputation if you ever look to leave the industry.

      worked on a lot of different areas of the trading stack; often close with researchers learned about technical components for data driven trading saw my impact day to day

      Cons

      constant office renovations were a bit distracting, but was told it should be done in 2026

      Pros

      Good compensation, collaborative environment. Company also seems to aim to be at forefront of new tech such as AI

      Cons

      When HR mgmt is on record stating things like the company shouldn’t hire females anymore, it really makes you wonder how they make decisions on who should fill management positions
