Poor management - Anonymous employee Blue Fire Capital Employee Review

The company is comprised of a group of very talented individuals - each member of the company understands the importance of team work. From the junior traders to the owner of the company, all work towards achieving the success of the company.

No cons in my opinion

1. Paycheck clears on time 2. Paid lunches daily 3. Refrigerator filled with yogurt (I guess this could be a con if you are lactose intolerant) 4. The office is about 50% full, so you can choose whatever chair you like 5. There are some good people to work with if you can find them 6. The firm is moving in a more analytical direction

1. They will find some way to screw up their transition to a more analytical firm 2. The starting salary is barely above that of a McDonald's employee 3. If you ask for a raise, it will be held above your head even if you deserve it 4. There are a few actual traders and then there are the other "traders" who just babysit the trades while the real traders are at home- know which one you are if offered a position 5. Your chances of having a life outside of work are slim to none 6. Your ideas will never be listened to and constantly laughed at 7. You will always be criticized for mistakes (no matter how small), but never lauded for successes 8. It takes approximately 13 months for anything new to get implemented
