not really that great

Software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It's a trading company so pay is better than average though the work can be not inspired. Many smart people around.

Cons

I have not been here so long but it feels bloated and maybe struggling with so much tech debt and too many people. It is surprising how much process is manual and not right tool for job.

decent hft company but work is blah and growth has no structure or direction

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Jump is a good HFT firm if you want to be in that business. WFH has been good and perks are all standard everywhere.

Cons

The work is dull and meaningless. The firm has grown so big so fast that nobody seems to have an idea how they will be trained or what they will work on. It's a bee hive of activity but no direction. All the teams are competing with each other which also lends to strange dynamics.

Smart people, high stress

Senior programmer

Business Outlook

Pros

Good place to immerse yourself with very able individuals. Peers were very friendly.

Cons

50+ hour minimum work week leaves little free time 5 days out of 7. Unexpected emergencies would make each day unpredictable
