Vantaggi

People are nice, not very high stress

Svantaggi

Given that the current state of tech is moving into AI, DRW is definitely lagging at attracting top talent. Places like Two Sigma, HRT, Jump, Citadel, etc. are very strongly embracing AI and have amazing presence, which makes them attract high caliber PhD students, smart undergrads, etc. who then tell their smart friends, and it becomes a virtuous cycle. Leaving DRW doesn't really give much credential in exit options - aside from a few trading firms, nobody seems to care that you've worked at DRW. Tech doesn't care and won't put you in interesting roles such as machine learning, and other well-known firms don't really care either from interviews.

Risposta di DRW

Attracting smart people who are good colleagues and creating a balanced workplace are high priorities at DRW. We’re glad that was your experience. We also agree AI and machine learning have a role in our business, and we are currently investing in and using both. As is true at all trading firms, we’re mindful about when and how we expose what we perceive as advantages in the market, and so some things aren’t widely broadcast, even internally.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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