not a tech company, just a high frequency trading company

Pros

The money is fine and the hours are not bad but the work is dull and pointless. Yes there is a kitchen and office perks are not bad.

Cons

The first thing to be clear about Jump is that it is not a tech company. It is a high frequency prop trading company. They can say it is a tech company and think that having office perks is what makes a tech company but it is not one. I worked in a tech company and things aren’t perfect but at least the work was more interesting and possibly of use. This high frequency trading is pointless. It is 1000 people and has been around for 20 years so it is not a start up and has the bureaucracy and politics of any big company. Jump will claim it is without politics and everything is flat and open and it is not the case either. Saying that the company is a tech company and has no politics does not make it true.
