Pros

Good pay. Good Insurance.

Cons

Most staff has been laid off. Company running on skeleton crew. Product is old and outdated with technical debt out of control. Management is clueless about how to run the company to make it competitive in today's market against competition like NinjaTrade, MultiCharts, ThinkorSwim, Interactive Brokers etc. All competition got rid of old technology, old code, revamped and got ahead.. but not Tradestation. Still stuck in the 90's.

Pros

Ping pong table, Xbox, and free bagels on Friday, work from home, decent salaries and benefits. Good place to learn the markets

Cons

Company is hemorrhaging money, mostly due to "championing" it's 15 year old software. Management is stale, complacent, and incompetent. Avoid like the plague

Business Outlook

Pros

There is some talent here and for most part people at the lower job levels are friendly. Good job security. Decent benefits.

Cons

This company has no promoting potential. Talented people stay in the same position here year in and out without any chance for being promoted. When there are positions available 95% of the time they are filled from outside the company. Upper management is not supportive of people moving up within the company. Management (PM) does not treat lower ranks employees with respect, instead expects them to be 'miracle' workers and to complete their assignments despite unrealistic planning.
