Thanks for the honest assessment. Our values certainly reflect our trust in our employees to seek new challenges, contribute in expected and unexpected ways and to challenge each other to think in new ways. We’re sorry you encountered some internal road blocks, but we appreciate you calling it out.

While we appreciate the positive feedback on our culture and perks, your insights on what was challenging are even more helpful, so thank you. Certainly the nature of a trading firm is to be opportunistic, which brings some amount of pivoting but we also want to make sure our teams feel those shifts are intentional when it affects their priorities. Our hope is that some of the new tools we’ve put in place help drive that alignment and awareness but it’s something we’ll be mindful of moving forward. If you’re open to sharing more about your situation, HR or your manager would benefit from hearing more details.
