Great culture not great management
|
|
Culture and people were amazing, friendly, and helpful
|
Did not pivot well to embrace technology side of business. Management did not have very structured decision process

Incompetent Management
|
|
There were some really smart people who worked their, but most had left over the years.
|
Management was incompetent, lacked accountability, failed to heed feedback. Managers were left do what they want without adding any value to organization, most engaged in empire building to increase power and drive appearance of their own value. Directors of Trading and Research failed to provide any leadership, help employees grow, gain the respect of their teams, or add any value.

Company going in right direction but experiencing growing pains
|
|
No cutting corners at the beginning. Employees well taken care of.
Good chance to get your hands dirty right away. Good opportunity to learn.
|
Cost cuts caused some loss of that initial vision. Trying to grow with a bit fuzzy idea of direction.

Overall, the management team was very strong. They had a lot expertise. I would be very clear what you would like an employee to build and how the person can evolve with the company 1, 5, 10 years in. That way you can keep top talent! Great job though you have made an excellent business.

Great Place to Start. Not so great to stay long term
|
|
Breakfast and lunch provided daily.
Work is fairly straightforward with some opportunity to work on things that interest you within the goals of your group
Everyone is pretty friendly
|
Upper management is not sure what direction they want to go. The result is a myriad of half completed projects.
Forced to select all vacation days a year in advance with little to no opportunity to change them. Also not allowed to take days off when other team members are off.
horrible work life balance. Company expects you to be available all hours including nights and weekends after working a 40 hours or more in the office.

AGILE only works when there is a clear direction and more time is given to go back to the project during the next rotation. Releasing just to release causes more issues than it fixes.
