Pros

The team is young and talented. Everyone is nice and friendly. You can easily make many friends in the company, including the founders (they are incredibly friendly). Ideas are always valued and you are allowed to choose what you want to work on. Learning is encouraged, and books are also provided at your choice. The working environment is very friendly. People are happy to help. Sometimes it gets a bit intense when it involves live trading, but mostly you can work on your own pace. People are all very intelligent and outstanding in their field. The tech stack is state-of-the-art and evolving with the frontage of modern technology. Hardworking and self-driven are buried in the company culture, and you will get generous compensation for that. The whole organisation is flat and flexible. Voices can be heard widely in the company. Bureaucracy is not a thing. Lots of food and drinks, including free lunch of your choice, various choices of fruits served to you every day (always watermelons). Breakfast also provided, you can pick from freshly cooked ones to Korean cup noodles. Free coffee every morning. Other benefits including an awesome view over darling harbour, table tennis table and pool table available, nintendo switch (and good players to play with), video game sessions, team building events & birthday cakes. Dress whatever you like. Showers and bath towels provided. Flexible working hours. In sum, it feels very friendly, relaxing, and productive thanks to all the effort from management. You can find both comfort and self-fulfillment working in this company.

Cons

Recruitment bar is high. Work from home is not generally available. Though the office is more comfortable than home in my humble opinion.

Pros

We learn that the efficient market hypothesis is wrong. Relatively chill place, went meditating with one of the cofounders once, was pretty cool. Free food, drinks, all the excesses of materialism.

Cons

Too much low hanging fruit to build something super fun.
