      Constantly shifting priorities, no respect for the tech workforce

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You get to learn a lot about different technologies, you're always busy (never bored), and they're very interested in cutting edge tech

      Cons

      Priorities change often, sometimes daily, but the timelines don't change with them. Expectations from upper management are "aggressive". 60 hour work weeks are the norm, but don't spend 5 minutes reading the news while eating lunch at your desk or they will notice and remember it. Pay is inline with the rest of the prop trading world, but not amazing. They have a tendency to screw people on their bonus (dismiss late in the year or pay out only a small portion of their target). At least for the support staff, and the partners don't like hearing "no" as an answer. Partners have snarky nicknames for most of the staff. Management is very clique-y and if you're not an Aussie or Brit you won't fit in.

      Stunning Nepotism

      Pros

      Good team spirit within the smaller teams. Coffee used to be good but that has zero value since WFH. Bonuses are ok.

      Cons

      I suggest reading the other reviews talking about nepotism at this firm. They claim to be meritocratic but under the surface it just isn't. If you are a friend of the CEO from high school you'll do great, even if you aren't qualified for the job. They only care about the original shareholders, other people will just be brushed aside. Turnover is ridiculously high - the list of completely heartless firings is endless. They did well in the first few years to get to the level they are at but it's now in decay, they have not grown up and are not a true competitor to the other firms in this field (check out the review averages in comparison).

      Pros

      Great Industry. Fast-paced. Company still growing.

      Cons

      Where to begin. There is no real HR department, and the company structure in general is extremely unclear. The company was a sweatshop. Long hours and no benefit nor compensation for people who decide to work more. People who are actually doing the work aren't being recognized. Its kinda like you're either in or you're looking in from the outside.
