"Incredible Opportunity for IT"

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

For anyone in IT, this is an opportunity that cannot be matched. Incredible perks, international trips, fantastic work environment and team culture, and the opportunity to work with the latest and most advanced technology (hardware, networking, trading software, etc) are just some of the factors which make this a truly unique & rewarding opportunity in fintech.

Cons

The company HQ is in Amsterdam and the NY/SG offices are very dependent on the HQ. From an IT standpoint it would be nice to see the offices run a little bit more independently.

Pros

Good company, nice benefits, nice people, positive outlook, growing. Market leader in ETF market-making. Good people from whom to learn. Good/excellent work-life balance.

Cons

Not much. As you would expect from a small-ish company, turnover is relatively high and there is constant change, which can sometimes be stressful. Some uncertainty. Processes not so well established if you're into that.

Challenging, everything is your own responsibility. Great learning environment and all the traders are happy to help and explain things to you.

Cons

Still a fast growing organization so some things could be organized better.
