Jump Trading reviews

It's a big company, so there is some of the inevitable big company slowness. But it isn't too bad. Not too many lunch options around the Chicago office.

- Jump isn't as agile as they think they are. TONNES OF TECH DEBT. A general fear of changes taking out production trading means that getting stuff fixed or improved is often slower than it should be. Coredev somewhat dysfunctional. - Not exactly a Meritocracy. Front office trading teams take the lions share of profits, though back office are working their butts off to make sure everything can run smoothly. - Not much of a bigger picture. There appears to be no greater purpose to the work than profiting off the markets. Jump entices hundreds of incredibly smart people, who might otherwise be solving important issues in the real world, to just polish the P&L - for scientists and engineers, it's kind of an empty goal.
