Pros and cons of working at Eclipse Trading
Pros
Small team so wide scope and variety of tasks to engage with and learn.
Friendly culture that encourages learning. Coworkers are always happy to help with questions.
Stocked pantry, two-month training in Hong Kong with flights and accommodation covered.
Great location and facilities. Well looked after within the office with stocked pantry, good PC setup. No dress code.
Fairly clear timeline on promotions, and what is expected to be promoted.
Cons
Workload can get a bit heavy especially for juniors as we lack the necessary skills to complete tasks in time.
Definitely gets a bit intense sometimes, but that's part in parcel of a job in this industry.
Need to have basic knowledge/interest in the financial markets.
Across teams it may pose a bit of a challenge to reach a conclusive agreement on decisions, a bit of back and forth.
Not aware of any sustainability efforts.
