bad management and bad culture - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Volant Trading

Great colleagues. Near no bureaucracy

Accounting and admins are not very helpful.

Work/Life Balance: Great work/life balance. You are expected to work hard during the day, but management does not want employees to burn out so hours are very reasonable. Work: The work at Volant is cutting edge and interesting. I've found that management will give you as much responsibility as you prove you can handle. And, they are always interested in hearing your opinion and new ideas concerning how to improve the Firm. Management: Generally, management is great. They are intelligent and approachable. Most importantly, I know Brian Donnelly cares about the employees. The Firm: Due to Volant's small size, management can make changes on the fly. The Firm is growing and is in a good position financially. Office Space: The Firm has a beautiful, new office overlooking the Hudson with a large outdoor space. On nice days, employees will eat lunch outside or have a drink and lounge on the deck at the end of the day. Career Growth: Volant's positive reputation is growing on the Street. I'll often get contacted by other companies or recruiters offering legitimate roles at other Firms/Banks because they know Volant is staffed lean and employees have solid experience. Other Notable Perks: Awesome technology. Snacks/drinks in the kitchen. Bonuses are paid twice a year. Ability to invest in the Firm. Firm covers your insurance premiums for individuals and their families.

Typical growing pains of a young company. But, working through those issues as a team is a great learning experience and has helped me form close relationships with other employees.
