SIG - Derivatives Trader Susquehanna International Group Employee Review

salary is very good relatively

long work hours and compeittive

From my experience, it’s been a very strong place to work. I came from big tech in Manhattan, and moving to Bala Cynwyd (PA) was an adjustment at first, but I’ve actually grown to like it — it’s quieter, and Manhattan is still only about 1.5–2 hours away, so I end up going back most weekends anyway. The people here are technically exceptional but also approachable and collaborative, which makes for a genuinely positive culture. The problems we work on feel more intellectually engaging than what I’ve seen in typical tech roles, and there’s a clear, serious investment in machine learning and quantitative research. Compensation is top-tier, and the office locations — whether NYC, Chicago, or Bala Cynwyd — come with great perks like high-quality gyms and frequent social events, from sports to poker, plus summer happy hours. The food is also a nice bonus, especially compared to many tech companies that don’t offer meals at all. Overall, the work–life balance has been solid.

Nothing major to be noted
