Motivating environment for over-achievers
Motivating environment for over-achievers
You have to be here to know what it's really like to be a part of the best investment management firm in the world. I am really motivated by the extreme emphasis on meritocracy and a lack of political games. Everyone is laser-focused on getting things done—better, faster, and in the right way. If you're someone that has a great attention to detail and a strong drive to deliver business value, there is no better place where you can bring your talent and grow your career.
The tech team works closely with business counterparts. There are plenty of opportunities to learn about the investment process and contribute to the firm through better engineering practices. All the way up to Ken, everyone strongly pushes for well-maintained, modern, and highly reliable software systems. You won't feel that you are just "another IT guy" here.
Not for the faint of heart.
Top-down communication could be more transparent and personal.

The HackerRank questions they ask are very similar to their LeetCode tagged questions, but with some modifications. There was one number theory question. Make sure you have a basic understanding of modulo arithmetic.
