Great Work / Life Balance

Pros

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

Pros

Free lunch and free Monday breakfast

Cons

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

Pros

This is overall a great company to work for. There are many opportunities for professional growth and advancement. The culture/environment is friendly, fun and collaborative. There is a lot to learn from coworkers. The company sponsors a lot of employee/team-building events to maintain the collaborative environment. Management has an open door policy and encourages feedback/ideas from everyone in the company, and they take it seriously. There are frequent company meetings that keep everyone informed of the company's performance. The company benefits are great too.

Cons

It can get stressful at times, but that's the nature of the industry.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I am glad to hear that you feel that OptionsCity offers opportunities for career growth and development. Ensuring that all our employees continually learn and grow professionally is very important to us, and to me personally, as one of the co-founders. We also do not shy away from/at social gatherings outside of work, and many have called the Holiday party “epic”. You are correct in identifying that the day-to-day can be stressful at times. Our customers are proprietary trading firms, financial institutions and these are, in my opinion, a very demanding customer group. Our support staff does an excellent job supporting our software and they are, in addition to Sales and Account Management, the main customer-facing groups. Our engineers solve some interesting technical challenges on a daily basis and we believe that customer interactions across all facets of the company make for better software. Thanks, Victor
