There's no doubt about it that Tradeweb is a great place to work. You will be challenged and grow tremendously in your role which is so rewarding. The people are honestly incredible, everyone is so helpful and the company really does work as one. From a work perspective, I feel fulfilled and happy. I think people work hard for Tradeweb because we genuinely enjoy our jobs.

Minpunten

I hate to say it but coming from other firms, the paid time off and especially the parental leave is way behind some other players in Tech and Finance. I know the US in general isn't great with maternity / paternity leave but for a company who actively promotes supporting parents and specifically working moms, I did not feel that way. As a new mom, I felt really unsupported and not ready to come back, especially since I was given more time at my previous companies and my baby still needed me. We get a total of 25 days off for everything - vacation, sick time, caring for relatives, kids, etc and I think that causes a culture of stress to take off when sick. I see so many people that continue to work while sick so they don't have to use up their PTO and I get it because we all work hard at Tradeweb so vacation and time off with family is important. I've also been really confused during the whole pandemic and return to work announcements. We were told we had to go back to the offices as hybrid in June and now there are additional variants and I'm unsure what the expectations are. I think as variants come up and confusion around COVID more transparency is important. I know a lot of parents that have young children are not and were not comfortable being around crowds and it would have been nice to not be forced back before the pandemic has ended.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your candid feedback. Tradeweb has a strong culture of collaboration, and we are pleased that your overall experience with the company has been very positive. We also appreciate you raising some areas of concern. Tradeweb is widely regarded as a great employer for working parents, from our policies to our resources and above all else our culture. We continuously analyze what other companies in the industry are offering to their employees to ensure we are on the right track. Our Parental Leave of 16 weeks is consistent with most of our peers, and is separate from our baseline PTO allotment which can be used for various reasons in order to provide maximum flexibility for our employees. We have an extremely active Working Parents Network that provide strong peer support, and our Intranet contains a wide range of resources to help new parents transition back to work. Employee needs evolve and our policies must remain nimble, and the Working Parents Network also maintains an active dialogue with our leadership team. If you are keen to share more about your individual circumstances, please reach out to your HR partner and we will try to help. With regard to returning to the office post-pandemic, our top priority continues to be the safety of our employees. Please speak with your manager, Business Head or your HR Business Partner if you are unclear of what your expectations are. We appreciate you raising these concerns with us.

Pluspunten

Flexible workplace culture with great remote and hybrid options

Minpunten

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
