Freedom to choose to work on any projects. Very smart colleagues. Zero hierarchy, real flat structure. Problems are highly challenging and fairly open ended thus demanding constant innovation.

There are disruptions and deviation from set plans.

- Small team(as title indicates) - which implies your work will have direct impact on the company business. - Very talented team - it is always fun to work with smart people. - Interesting Work - high frequency trading is an interesting domain involving a mix of ML and Software engineering. Also, you get to do real-trading unlike most firms where only few big guys trade. - Freedom - People are free to try new ideas on their own and use them for real trading. Many projects spawn out of state-of-the-art research papers. - Great Work Culture : Flat hierarchy, no politics.

- Can be Stressful : Real trading requires lots of focus and attention everyday unlike a software firm where if you don't feel like working on a day you can just fool around in the big company campus. - Inexperienced Team : Smart people also need some time to gain expertise :P. Major consequence of this is bad software practices.
