Pros
Priorities seem straight. Smart and hardworking people who are valued. There seems to be opportunity to grow along with the company because it is growing so much. Work-life balance has positively surprised me - definite sense of understanding that people have lives and interests outside of work, ability to use travel days and leave at normal hours without being shamed. Opportunities to get to know coworkers in social...

Some good people. Decent place to learn development given minimal prior software development experience.
Cons
Growth ceiling hits after a while. Project scales are small. Depending on team development work might be uninteresting.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at AKUNA CAPITAL full-time for less than a year
Pros
Some smart people, average pay in MKT
Cons
It is still a start-up company style without structured process. You will often need to figure out ambiguity. The HR globally is manipulated by top management team. The case occur that extending you the offer and they regret and withdraw the offer which is very ridiculous.
Advice to Management
For sake of your brand reputation, stop those ridiculous drama

Pros
The company is making enough money to go around. They provide a 3-month training program for Junior Traders. They’re looking to expand, and it seems meritocratic.
Cons
There aren’t too many cons.
