They are very limited in what they trade (I think mostly eurodollar futures and options). Their entry-level positions are TA jobs, which are really middle office at most banks. The difference is that you are expected to be trading one day, whereas in MO at a BB you are not.

I think it is a reasonable place to work if:

1) You are convinced that eurodollar futures are what you should be trading (and that you should be a trader and not a structurer or sales person)

2) You don't mind living in chicago.

3) If it doesn't work out you don't mind finding a new firm.

Otherwise, I would think BB would be a better place to start.

 

I don't know if you've met the guys at DRW, but when they visited my school they seemed lke pretty nice people...which isn't always the case at some of the bigger banks (although my impression may be off). Plus, one of the gys who came was one of the cofounders of the firm, makes you think that they pay decent attention to their analysts. I would have like to work there, but it probably depends on your personality and goals for the future...
