Competent, respectful coworkers with the benefits of a prop trading firm
All of my coworkers here were extremely intelligent, and generally pleasant people to work with. DRW's hiring mentality shines here. Likewise, the technologies we worked with were always cutting-edge, and DRW's fast-paced environment keeps you on your toes.
On some teams, the pace of DRW's work environment often leads to a lesser work/life balance.
This is fairly small, but I would give more feedback and guidance to new employees. I felt like performance reviews were more than satisfactory, but in DRW's fast-paced environment, it's easy to forget to give guidance or feedback to new employees.
