Akuna Capital

Most people are nice to work with and super helpful. However, it's a bit of a gamble, as your environment/WLB will largely depend on which team you land on.

Slightly better WLB than similar trading firms.

There is a healthy obsession with QoL features, such as build, which is nice for devs.

• Relatively low pay compared to other firms.
• Some code is poorly written (especially in older software), which can lead to a bad time if you have to work with it.
• High attrition, both by choice and by force (there was a recent mass layoff with zero warning).
• Little to no documentation and a lack of focus on it. Also, nobody really cares much about testing. Combined with high attrition, this makes for an inefficient work environment.
• A relatively high proportion of devs are expected to support traders.

Don't over-hire.

Take more responsibility for failed projects.
