Worst place I’ve ever worked

Product manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Very few positive things to say about this place. They don’t fire anyone really, but that’s mostly because everyone quits on their own

Cons

Inept, lazy, entitled upper management who reap all the benefits of those below them. Horrible pay. Expensive benefits package. No 401k matching plan. And overall just awful people. Never worked in a more toxic environment in my life

Leadership with a short vision

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Company’s main business in inter dealer brokerage. It’s a great place to learn the entire brokerage system.

Cons

Poor healthcare insurance. Full of micro managers who keeps an eye on your desktop while you work. Bearish management style creates insecurity and untrustworthy environment. Poor software management process, expect to work long hours and “I want” instructions from managers to release code changes almost every week. Not a good place if you are looking for work life balance, working from home is highly discouraged and talked about in meetings. Poor bonus policies.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You won't get fired because the turnover rate is very high. Bonus and pay are standard.

Cons

Bad, expensive health insurance. No 401k match. Low sick days. Work from home is discouraged. No promotions within. Corporate titles are a mess and don't make any sense. Expected to work late hours and weekends with no extra compensation.
