Loads of very talented people to work with. Some other review said high density talent, which is a great way to describe it.
Great compensation, especially considering WLB within the industry.
Lots of bleeding-edge technology and interesting problems to solve. They have world-class HPC infrastructure and really cool, bespoke hardware.
Great culture. Many people have been here for 10+ years, and everyone seems very happy. Very few egomaniacs, especially for a place with so many talented people.
Tech debt coupled with complex systems with lots of bespoke hardware and software. It's very difficult to really feel completely comfortable and knowledgeable, even if you are very smart and have spent a good amount of time here.
Very flat and distributed organization can lead to feeling like there is a lack of direction at times.
Not really specific to Jump, but similar to most HFT firms, the compensation and career path can be very unclear.
The Python Code Challenge on the Codility website must be passed as the first step. After that, you get to the interview. However, I did not even get that far. They are way too strict on the challenges. It doesn’t make any sense.
There wasn't an online assessment. The first round was an interview with two software engineers. It was one coding question that required recursion to solve. They gave around 30 minutes to work on the problem.
Typically, the process involves HR, then the hiring manager, then a panel, then C-levels, and finally an offer. This is not out of the ordinary, nor is it difficult. There is no coding review required; you just have to listen to rambling and then ans
