Pros

- Good WLB by trading industry standards - People are smart and laidback - Consistently profitable - Company structure is flat - Meritocracy. No company politics I've encountered

Cons

- Not diverse, however "diversity hires" won't solve the problem - Many long tenured employees. Limited upward opportunities - Heard some desks have bad office politics - Senior management takes the lion share of profits therefore you may get smaller share of your PnL than at a competitor form

Thanks for your detailed review. As you noted, we are a firm that values meritocracy and that is reflected from Day 1 in our hiring practices. We believe that actively working to increase diversity in tech and trading is in harmony with that value. Our view is that exceptional talent is everywhere, but opportunities aren’t, so we should work to create them.

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.
