Collaborative environment, but high pressure and long hours - Anonymous employee Chicago Trading Company Employee Review

High-potential, high-caliber, low-ego environment. The people at the firm really embody the broader culture of the business. There is a cohesive plan that flows from the board level down to the day-to-day work each employee does. There is also a conscious effort to develop talent, which I really appreciate.

it's a culture led firm so by nature not a fit for everyone.

Good but worsening culture Good benefits Good pay on a good year

Years behind the best trading firms. The tech is literally built by generations of inexperienced engineers inheriting tech debt, rewriting it poorly, and repeating the cycle. Good engineers are rare and do not stay for long. Ultimately it boils down to poor management. There are little consequences or rewards to under or over performing. Good engineering is not noticed let alone rewarded. Promotions are based more on politics than impact.
