Pros

The company is willing to offer great opportunities including leaderships and promotions to both senior and young generation. Our work are respected and reimbursed pretty well. Firm structure is flat so it's easy to directly communicate with management team, and they are willing to listen to us and continuously making improvements.

Cons

Nothing much comes to my mind, but Chicago is really cold.

Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear that your time at Sunrise Futures has been a positive experience. We agree that Chicago can be pretty darn cold (especially at this time of year)!

Pros

As most of the trading does, Sunrise is a place if you are willing to work hard, make a lot of contribution, and get rewarded for your contribution. But Sunrise is also very unique. It has been growing steadily. The company never had single layoff. More importantly, the company treats everyone as part of a family. Everyone knows each other. The company CEO knows everyone by first name and which college he/she graduated. That is how close each other is. As a small company, you will be able to expose a lot of areas of the business. If you want to learn about the business, you will have a lot of opportunities.

Cons

If you are not willing to work hard, Sunrise is not the place. If you are not capable, Sunrise is not the place. You have no place to hide. If you are good, people will know, if you are not good, people will also know. Perhaps this is not a cons, it is a pro if you want to work for Wall Street. You may even get yelled if you are not doing good job. I believe that this happens to most of the trading industry. Every one could lose the temp when trading goes wrong because of your fault. For sure. Sunrise is a small company. If you want to manage a big team, it is not your place.

Pros

Excellent health insurance. Nice HR.

Cons

Black box everywhere. Zero knowledge sharing. Old tech stack. I personally didn't grow in terms of skillsets or understanding of the market. The longer I stayed in the company, the more anxious I became about my career. In fact, it was a huge struggle for me to find a new job, partially because the experience with the company was not quite relevant to what the job market wanted and partially because the non-compete was extremely long. I was encouraged to explore as much as I wanted, but no one ever provided any guidance to where to look or how to start. It was a disaster, as I had zero background in the area. It's like teaching someone to swim by throwing him into the sea (not the pool) without even a life jacket. It's true they have a flat structure, but it's not family-like to me at all as advertised. It could be a good place for some people, as there definitely were extremely happy employees. But it's not for me; and I consider my best day in the company the day I resigned.
