Don't take the job unless desperate. - Anonymous employee Chicago Trading Company Employee Review

Among the top minds in Finance. Incredibly strong and healthy culture. Rare combination of top talent and humble employees. For those who value team oriented firms CTC is second to none.

None that I can think of

Good but worsening culture Good benefits Good pay on a good year

Years behind the best trading firms. The tech is literally built by generations of inexperienced engineers inheriting tech debt, rewriting it poorly, and repeating the cycle. Good engineers are rare and do not stay for long. Ultimately it boils down to poor management. There are little consequences or rewards to under or over performing. Good engineering is not noticed let alone rewarded. Promotions are based more on politics than impact.
