Automated Trading Desk is a technology company specializing in the creation of systems for automated stock trading.
But all the technology and trading going on at ATD doesn’t mean it’s a stuffy place to work.
Company employees participate in a profit-sharing program where they create personal goals for the quarter, then, depending on company profitability, they’re compensated on how they perform against their goals.
The company also promotes employee health and fitness with an on-site gym that includes locker room facilities and a towel service.
ATD offers automated trading in all domestic equity markets, including the listed, over-the-counter, exchange traded fund and bulletin board marketplaces. ATD was recently acquired by Citigroup Inc., the largest financial services company in the world, with some 200 million customer accounts in more than 100 countries.
ATD operates as a unit of Citigroup’s Global Equities business. Citigroup expects to expand ATD’s technology and trading expertise to markets around the world that are experiencing similar growth in trading volume and electronic execution.
