Pros

Before the 2019 IPO, Tradeweb was a good place to work with great people and opportunities for growth. There were plenty of social events for people to get to know each other and our voices felt like they were heard. The company has a good Achievers program and the technologies and platforms are being updated to keep up with newer programming languages, UI and trends .

Cons

Since the IPO in 2019, a lot of things changed: - New Management at almost every level had become all about themselves and introduced so many new processes and red tape that it was hard to get things done - People were let go without any justification and more work was tossed on other people’s plates - Managers kept changing and moving around causing lots of confusion and lack of clarity and consistency in relationships (imagine having a new manager every few months and sometimes getting your old manager back after a while) - No title changes for long periods of time (most people in Technology go 5+ years without a promotion, which is too long) - People on the Business side become Directors or MDs within a few years but people in Technology are treated differently - Most of the revenue is generated by old software built before this millennium and there are no Developers left who know anything about it, so it’s very hard to troubleshoot issues or make changes without things breaking

Great company! Great culture! The interview process is also fair. They do their best to let you know how to prepare

long commute for me. RO is difficult and very very selective

Pros

Flexible workplace culture with great remote and hybrid options

Cons

They are onboarding new tools and SaaS platforms, but ironically, any suggestion to actually improve the system is met with "apathy or exasperation". Pervasive legacy tech debt remains untouched everywhere
