Quadeye Reviews

1. Work is not good. Code quality is really bad and manual work and monitoring eats all your time. 2. Zero work life balance. You have to be available 24 hours (specially in current covid situation the company expects you to pick up the call in one ring at 4 am) 3. Company culture and management is not good. 4. Salary structure is a trap. Even the "complementary food" claimed in the offer letter is not free. 5. Notice period as large as 6 months. 6. No bonus paid if you leave the company after working for 11 months. The bonus is discretionary and if the company knows that you won't be staying in the firm, they might decide not to give you anything. 7. It is difficult to leave the company and they make sure you don't join a HFT. 8. Blame game culture - For any major issue, there is a chain of blames and finally the lowest in the chain is blamed and that person is made to compromise with the bonus citing carelessness. This isn't always true but happens in case of major issues, which by the way, are not rare at Qaudeye.

Fake Discipline - I was working on alpha research, I was not managing a live trade, I would reach office between 9 and 9:30 am. My mentor would reach office at 11 am and give me a lecture on discipline. Dumb money - I was just one month into the job, I had a steep learning curve until one day my mentor told me how he could save time and money by doing the work all by himself and finishing the project sooner and taking the strategy live earlier. He could actually do it because he used to get 25hrs in a day. Anyway, I never asked him any questions again. So much for growth. Inhumane people - I had gotten covid and had taken sick leave. I was expected to work but I did not because um I could not because I was really sick. As soon as I recovered and got back to work, my mentor asked the HR to ask me for a voluntary resignation :) I had a traumatising experience in the very toxic environment
