Pros
I love working at Tradeweb. The company is a leader in its space, and there is a lot of respect for the brand and business when I tell others in the industry where I work. The company has an entrepreneurial feel, and there is a lot of opportunity to get involved in different aspects of the business -- especially compared with the larger financial company that I came from prior to working here. I really enjoy the people that I work with. It is a collegial atmosphere and usually lots of fun! I have a great work-life balance, too. Our hours are usually 8-5:30, which gives me time to focus on the volunteer hobbies that I care about outside of my full-time job.
Cons
It helps to have a self-starting attitude and to really own your projects/ideas or there’s a risk of falling into a pattern where you are maintaining your skills rather than continually growing them. If you coming up with ideas, you’ll usually get enthusiastic support and trust to implement them. I love this aspect of my job because I have a lot of ownership over my functional area and I feel very invested in my work, but it may not be the best fit for someone who prefers more explicit guidance and direction.
