Pros
Without question, my time at Lucena has been the most rewarding work experience to date. The company culture is highly collaborative and simultaneously encourages creativity. The other employees are good-natured and extremely talented – working at Lucena feels more like working for a team than at a job.
As a Quantative Analyst and researcher, my work at Lucena was very exciting. My position allowed me to use and develop bleeding edge ML technologies on a daily basis. The company has a strong commitment towards exploration and innovation.
Regarding the CEO, I have found Erez to be a valuable mentor. He expects employees to realize their full potential, but understands that stumbling blocks and unexpected hurtles are part of the business. Erez is a hard worker whose commitment towards Lucena’s success is always present.
Cons
As a quickly growing company, there are ebbs and flows. Every week is different and some are more busy / intense than others.
