Vantaggi
Despite the churn and uncertainty in the company after the TPICAP acquisition it is still a company full of talented human beings and a good place to work. Pros: - You work with a lot of talented, experienced human beings (not corporate drones). The firm has not juniorised its entire staff in the same way a lot of other firms have. Its a company with a lot of experience and good people within it. - You have a lot of freedom to operate and make decisions. Liquidnet does not suffer from the top down micromanagement that other firms impose. The quid pro quo is you have to take responsibility and be pro active! Not a place for people who need to be told what to do or just sit on their laurels. - Liquidnet still has its own benefits structure which are some of the best on the street - Weekly office drinks in EMEA. Good opportunity to meet colleagues and new team members
Svantaggi
- There has been a lot of staff churn. - The lack of investment is glaringly obvious. Liquidnet is still a good place DESPITE the acquisition not because of it - TPICAP really doesnt understand what it has bought. TPICAP is primarily a commodities/rates manual voice trading organisation. Unless they actually plan to electronicise more of their business what was the point of acquiring an electronic broker? Massive opportunity missed.
