Room for growth if you are motivated - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso OptionsHouse

Great environment with nice people

Annual raises were usually not very larage

The location is great: the building and facilities are hip and cool. Being a merger of two smaller online retail trading companies who have solid plans to grow substantially, they are investing a lot in people and technology. There is a palpable feeling of being on the ground floor of something new that could be big. There is new leadership added to ensure a clean growth from start-up to enterprise that has really solidified over the last few months providing an exciting vision of business and technology working closely together to go to the cloud and modernize the platform that was good for its time, but now is ripe to exploit new technology. Chicago is the Fintech incubator and this is the right place if you want in that space.

As in every organization, there is still some who pine for the glory days of either old TradeMonster or Peak6. Everyone tries to be understanding, but sometimes it gets in the way of moving forward. Though the vast majority have embraced the new company and strategy. Some of the technology is a little dated and startupy (lots of open source), but it’s getting better.
