I have worked in different offices/fields and I have never experienced a culture quite like this one - it's awesome! Everyone enjoys what they do, but also takes the initiative to empower those around them to grow in their careers.
Cons
Though there is a clear line of communication within each department, the communication can become siloed. However, I've noticed that there are already great efforts to become more all-inclusive.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I am glad that you feel that the culture at OptionsCity stands out versus others. Empowering the members of our team and ensuring that everybody continually learns and grows professionally are the keys to our success as an organization. As you mention, it is also crucial to continue to increase and improve the lines of communications between all groups and across all reporting levels.
Thanks,

In my experience, OptionsCity has been a great place to develop my career while maintaining a healthy work/life balance. Our problem domain, financial technology, can be both intellectually and computationally demanding, which keeps my day-to-day work interesting and ever-changing. Since OptionsCity is a relatively small company, employees have the opportunity to take initiative and be involved with many parts of the business.
Cons
The downside of being a small company is often lack of structure and/or focus, and I believe that is occasionally true at OptionsCity. It means that the company is extremely agile, quickly moving to opportunities and adapting to the changing market, but that lack of structure and/or focus can be frustrating to employees.

Thank you for writing your review. You paint an accurate picture of what working at OptionsCity entails. You point out a number of things we do well and some things that may still require improvement.
I think that your suggestion around ensure that the entire team understand Why we are doing something, in addition to the What, is very good. The planning we do and communicate at the beginning of the year, the focus areas we set and publicize for each quarter, as well the various townhalls/huddles and internal updates are some steps we have taken to ensure engagement and transparency. We will continue to perform and increase these.
Thanks,
Victor
Extremely high turnover rate. As a small company with total 50 persons, they have roughly 50% turnover rate per year. Just watch out when you are ready to step in. Total head count hasn't been growing for multiple years.

The information presented in this review is false, and the facts on the ground (the actual employee counts, etc.) clearly show that. We are more than willing and able to share the numbers with any interested current employee or new hire.
The tone and type of claims included in this review, which were found in a couple of other previous ones, make it clear that they are coming from the same seemingly disgruntled person.
If we are dealing with a current or previous employee, you are well aware on how easy it is to reach members of the management team so that we can discuss the real issue and see what we can do to help.
Thanks,
Victor
