Profit per Employee

October 5th, 2009

Forget about Google or eBay’s early days for outstanding feats in profit per employee, just check out Citadel’s high frequency trading group whose activities are under the spotlight with an employee court case at the moment. For those counting at home, that $1.15bn profit with 55 employees, or nearly $21m profit for each employee!

    The sheer scale of Citadel's technology infrastructure is a barrier to entry in that space (similar to Google in search). I wonder what the ratios look like on the capital side of the business (rev/server?)
