Like a Start-Up But With Money
Like a Start-Up But With Money
Fast-paced, productive, and result-oriented environment.
Interesting work: both from a finance perspective (constantly evolving trading strategies, asset classes, etc.) and a pure technology perspective (solving real scalability and resiliency problems).
Technology is deeply respected and tech culture is long-term focused.
Very horizontal. Everyone contributes. Thin "management layer".
Little to no "face time" requirements, as long as you get your work done.
Compensation is good for the industry.
Free food.
- The path for growth isn't obvious due to a very horizontal structure.
- "Crunch time" isn't common, but can be stressful and time-consuming.
- It can be competitive.
