Racial Discrimination Tendency Against Chinese In Some Teams

Business Outlook

Pros

Cutting edge technology, hardworking and smart people.

Cons

I used to work with a medium size team, and the team lead seems to have discrimination tendency against foreign employees especially Chinese. One third people were forced to leave the team in the past two years and they are all foreign employees. Among them, seventy percents are Chinese.

Business Outlook

Pros

- The firm's brand commands tremendous respect amongst competitors, brokers,exchanges and regulators. High standards in business conduct globally and always looks to set a higher bar. - When mistakes happen, culture is less of blaming and more of a "lets understand what happened and make sure it doesn't happen again". - Big spenders on technology investments - Quantitative powerhouse in Futures - Excellent pay - Good regular communication from leadership to the entire global organization about what's happening - Incredible investment in college recruiting and training programs. - Hyper competitive drive to be #1 in the HFT industry.

Cons

- Has grown so much that making an impact is difficult. With the pie not growing as much, everyone's fighting for a larger piece of the pie, driving a political culture. - Weak in Equity Options and Equities (compared to Futures) - Questionable performance review methodologies. - So much back office "fat". Too many random roles and too little accountability. - Zero diversity in management.
