Pros

A rare combination of trading/tech skill, diversification across trading styles, risk appetite, and market leading infrastructure. The company grew fast, and still needs to be optimized internally as a result, but it has all the ingredients to become the best prop shop in the world.

Cons

Discretionary bonus structure within certain trading groups can be a bit opaque for younger traders. There is a push to unify the company but at the moment some desks are siloed and/or compete internally with other desks.

Thank you for writing a review on Glassdoor. Continuous diversification of the firm has been a focus for us, and we are glad to see that you have enjoyed that aspect, along with others, of your experience at DRW. We will continually work to make the way our employees collaborate as efficient and helpful for personal growth as possible.

Pros

DRW values my input and ideas, and allows me to explore new ways of conducting surveillance. The firm is not afraid to try things that may not work out in the end.

Cons

You have to have the confidence to push forward. People will help and guide you, but you must initiate the activity.
