Strong technical talent, a good place to work
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
New York, New York, United States
July 30, 2021
Pros: Work with talented people.
Generally well managed.
Good work-life balance.
Relaxed atmosphere.
Managers are technically sophisticated.
Great mobility within the company.
Cons: Very few checks on management authority: no 180 review, no peer feedback. Disputes with management feedback have no recourse. Advice: make sure you trust your manager.
Sometimes it feels too laid back, and no one is held accountable for serious issues.
Bad managers aren't found and removed.
Much of the trading technology is mature. You won't get to do much new development.
TSS is a mess. Avoid it. They cannot find a vision that works.

Wfh Great, Team Chemistry Low
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
New York, New York, United States
November 22, 2024
Pros: • generous WFH policy if that is your thing.
• obsession with systematic approach.
Cons: A generous WFH policy means the office is quite empty, so if you want some chemistry among colleagues, it might be hard to find.
A recent CEO change does not look very geek-friendly; that might impact the culture in the future.
