Vantaggi

In Asia office after 4 PM, people can drink beer and playing poker; Free wifi which you could use to post bad reviews on Glassdoor, as well as search for a new job.

Svantaggi

I can confirm all bad comments on Glassdoor about Volant are all true and I will not repeat similar comments; It is absolutely horrible working environment!! It's so toxic to a point which fingerpointing between developers and traders when the incident happens as day to day basis. All partners just close their eyes and hoping good things will happen. Volant never gives equity out for free, they just give you the rights of purchase which doesn't make sense. My comment for potential joiner: new graduates - all senior staff trying to make sure they could survive long enough to get another job and have no incentive to teach you anything, and they will find every way to make sure you will produce a bad performance, so you would not be able to replace them before their resignation, it's dog eat dog game; Experienced hires - This company is running low on human resources, you will require to handle a huge workload due to recent resignation and laid off, there are so many aging systems, software, and hardware, you will be running around as a firefighter all day long, and DO NOT trust whatever management promising you, they are all lying and they laid off a lot of senior staff without giving out warning. At least 20-30% of your bonus will go into company vesting pool, which is compulsory; if Volant collapse before 2020 which the others are predicting, vesting pool will be gone and most likely they will fire you and keep that money for themselves.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
