We're just like a tech company
🕑 Added 2019-09-06 09:37:29 +0000 UTCHere's a glassdoor review for a famous trading firm:
Pros
Nice people
Tech-firm like working environment
Cons
Need to arrive 7 AM or earlier
I don't think more evidence that they don't have a "tech-firm like working environment" is necessary, but if you search for their name, it's easy to find a photo of their last intern class. 3/4 of the guys are in suits and 100% of the intern class is white.
I guess non-tech companies use "like a tech company" the way big tech companies use "like a startup" -- to indicate that they're so out of touch with what these things are like that they can something think it's not laughable to say they're similar when it's obvious to everyone who isn't completely ignorant about the matter that they're a completely different kind of thing (see https://www.patreon.com/posts/we-can-move-as-1715426 for an example of the latter).
