Have anyone heard of XR trading company?

[Penglu]

Dear my friends, I am recently applying for XR trading company's junior trader internship. I was trying to find out more about the firm, such as their strategies, products they trade and their firm culture. But it seems there is not anything available on Google. So I am wondering if any of you have any experience with this firm? Any insight will be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Best

No problem, let me Google that for you.
Edit: tl;dr What you should actually be searching for is "Rho Trading Securities LLC" because they changed names.

They're a Chicago prop trading firm that uses open source software and produce nothing open source in return (according to my mentor anyway). They have some values written over placards all over the office, don't tolerate cursing, and put you on a non-compete from the exit of any full-time position. Interviewed there once, got a big arrogant b/c I thought I had fallback options that weren't as solid as I thought, and got rejected. Expect programming assessments.

Thanks. There are just so many prop trading firm out there. Besides those big names, not sure how those small firms are doing.
