Pros

Paid time off policy is decent for industry

Cons

The retail division aka "tradeweb direct" is the worst part of the firm.....The workforce here has undergone significant attrition so there's not much talent left......There is no direction from management and certainly no "leadership".....The technology here is ancient and terrible and no one knows how to fix anything or how anything is supposed to work. Platform has been down numerous times over the past year and it's getting worse. The folks who run the technology group here have no idea what they're doing. Haven't innovated in many years so the platforms are outdated and not comparable to the modern tech found in the rest of the market. Clients are extremely unhappy and are trying to leave, despite what management thinks they know about client satisfaction......This place is on its last leg and it's only a matter of time until they shut it down......I'm trying to leave asap but the environment is tough right now so I feel stuck here.

Thanks for taking the time to write your review. It's unfortunate that you chose this forum to make so many broad negative characterizations of our leadership team and the talent level of our employees. Every team at Tradeweb has the same goal of providing external and internal clients the best service while maintaining a supportive and inclusive culture. Tradeweb is constantly changing and innovation is one of the best things about the company. With change, innovation, and growth comes additional work and the leadership team and HR work closely together to make sure we have the right resources in place. We don't feel that most here share your views, and still hope you can come forward and talk to us directly about why you feel the way you do.

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

Cons

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
