      Excellent group of tremendous workers

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Excellent group of tremendous workers that rewards effort, devotion and ingenuity. Willingly incorporates and promotes people having (at first glance) irrelevant background if they are ready to prove their eagerness. Even if they obviously cannot bring lots of value on their second day of work -- the company knows how to evaluate how will they develop later.

      Cons

      Just as with any thing in life, everything has to be paid for. Lacking some (a lot of) knowledge means you have to pick it up when you are already on the way. If you cannot try really hard (which means doing tomorrow a thing you did not have any idea yesterday) you simply do not fit.

      Great company with distinct culture - a PM's perspective

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There might be different perspectives for PMs, researchers, members of tech teams. I will give a PM's perspective. Culture is based on innovation and is incentive-driven. Compensation is formulaic as much as possible, with a lot of transparency. There are a lot of opportunities to start new projects and you will be evaluated based on results (mostly in terms of PNL). Company is at the forefront of quant trading, the group is extremely strong and selective, lots of extremely bright people. There is continuous drive to improve and innovate.

      Cons

      Not much collaboration. Job security is low. If you do not perform in terms of PNL you will be cut and it can happen quickly/abruptly.

      Interesting, Challenging, and Fair Company

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very fair and highly incentivized environment. Management aligns their objects well with employee compensation. Hands-off management approach. Well-established, but still growing. Work is intellectually stimulating.

      Cons

      As with finance/investment firms, there are high expectations on employee productivity - this works very well if you can meet expectations, but can be quite stressful if you don't.
