Atto Trading Technologies reviews

I wrote a new trading system for this firm. For 8 months it traded fine in the test environment while their quant team stalled on the most basic C++ errors imaginable, like problems a 1st year university student would have. In my 1:1 I volunteered to help fix it every week for months and got ignored. None of the code I saw could even compile due to missing headers. Now I have a short tenure at this loser no-name company on my resume and it has been difficult to even get interviews. I wasn't the only one, about a third of the company was let go while I was there, they won't care about you at all. Their talk about milestones is garbage when you're dependent on some other silo. Don't make the same mistake I did, avoid this company.

- Parts of the core C++ platform still contain old clunky legacy code, and although there has been a lot of cleanup work, there is still a long way to go. - Because the firm is relatively small, some quality-of-life tools and "nice to have" internal systems are missing compared to larger shops. - As a researcher, you often need to spend some time on the research pipeline and development work rather than purely on modeling or idea generation.
