Pros

It looks good on the resume. They are big in high frequency trading. The building is great. Mount Pleasant is a great place to live. It is probably the nicest place that I have ever lived.

Cons

All of the project management is on a ticketing system which is insane. The managers play these games, where they put as much work as possible on every ticket. The assumptions of the tickets are not checked. They keep these statistics of how many tickets are late. The programmers in turn, try to do as little work as possible on each ticket. It is a horrible way to work.

Pros

Many opportunities. There are so many ideas that the company can't implement them all. The company understands that there needs to be a work life balance. Management regards it's employees and has always ensured that profits are shared. Meritocracy based organization, if you have a good idea it's likely that you'll be able to see it help the company. Recent acquisition by Citi offers many opportunities for working with other groups.

Cons

Current purchase by Citigroup has introduced large amounts of bureaucracy. ATD has traditionally been a nimble company that works at being a leader. With the new organization it takes far too long to get anything accomplished.

Pros

Great area, nice culture, aggressive and cut-throat yet laid back at the same time. Amazing building to work in, it really blows you away the first time you see it.

Cons

Citi now owns the company, which has brought more negative to the company than positive ones. Some of the stronger traders and engineers have left the company as a result.
