Pros

Clear Street is a robust and fast-growing business with some of the best tech on Wall Street. Since the firm has multiple growing business lines and distinct products, the scope of relevant talent is actually very broad. Whether it's infrastructure engineering, trading systems, product engineering, distributed systems, or front-end, Clear Street is hiring. This body of work is enough to keep busy and interested as a recruiter. The team is composed of people from diverse backgrounds and specialties, but each person is also well-rounded in terms of their craft. Management is open-minded as to letting people step out of their comfort zone in terms of work and is supportive of people wanting to grow. In general, learning and development are key focus areas for the leadership team; we all strive to get better at what we do, and we help each other do so every day. In addition, Clear Street Recruiting makes extensive use of recruiting technology and content. Through careful utilization of data and market intelligence, we are able to identify and bring relevant opportunities to every kind of engineer or businessperson. Through proprietary content, we are able to bring our name out to market and spread the word about the cutting-edge engineering and financial work going on here. The atmosphere at work is collegial and friendly while also being fast-paced and focused. People who go above and beyond are noticed and rewarded accordingly. The office is located near the NY stock exchange, in the heart of the financial district, and the firm caters lunch daily! Overall I would definitely recommend Clear Street to any ambitious recruiter.

Cons

The office snacks go quickly!

Pros

The money is good and the snacks in the office are too.

Cons

Beware taking a job at this company - the money might be tempting but the culture is extremely toxic and unhealthy. There is no HR or policies in place meaning that it is the wild west in terms of performance and employees not performing well or doing inappropriate things are not being held accountable.

Pros

Some really smart people that love technology and are great resources to learn from. The engineering side uses all the latest technologies and is always open to pivoting and using tools that might better fit the problem at hand. Lots of stuff to do I started working on tickets and projects within 2 weeks of joining. Aside from engineering everyone is friends here and the company makes an active effort to host events like happy hour.

Cons

There's a lot of hiring going on which is a good thing, but you can get lost within all the new people joining. Compared to other tech companies there are no real benefits to joining Clear Street except for lunch, but I'm sure as the company grows this will change
