      Turning sour fast, morale at all time low

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      My turn soon over here. Had a few good years, the right place right time, with a decent kitchen.

      Cons

      2018 on record year bonuses were almost flat so management could pay themselves higher. 2019 year was chaos. Profits down dramatically. Greedy mismanagement, no clear direction. Entire firm is just copy + paste of Optiver strategies, which can only take you so far. No new ideas just iterating on the late 2000s. CEO spend half the year distracted by a fumbled deal, then fire the CTO and cause exodus of senior developers (after some of the best senior traders and quants already left). Management generally absent, across the board low understanding of modern technology - probably not a single person in trader management could explain you how to write basic script, yet they try to call the shots for tech directions! Read positive reviews on the glassdoor with salt - many very obvious stink of HR flavors.

      Avoid if you are experienced

      Engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Almost no obstacles to learning whatever you want. Some good and smart people.

      Cons

      Data management is way too messy. Politics from top to bottom. Blame games everywhere. In many teams, there is little respect for industrial best practices, but abundant careless assumptions, which results in wasted end products more often than not. Most scarily, people who make decisions tend to have little in-depth understanding in the areas they manage, but they sincerely believe they do and talk down to others like kings.

      Toxic Culture Leading to Poor Technology

      Junior developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good compensation (though less than other similar companies) Free (mediocre) coffee

      Cons

      Rushed timelines on every project leading to huge tech debt everywhere that's never fixed. Poor management and incentives encourage hacking things together rather than thinking things through. Toxic culture of firing people any time they make mistakes, even if they're set up to fail. Tech management doesn't have a good understanding of the company's software and how it works. Horrible work/life balance and no investment in improving developer productivity. Offered incentives to employees for posting non-anonymous reviews.
