Thoughts on Chicago Trading Company (CTC)?

Where does CTC stack up among trading firms? My impression is it’s around the same tier as Akuna, is that wrong? How is the comp for new grads? I’m currently interviewing for (quant) trading positions for summer 2021 internships and wanted to get a feel for how CTC stacks up since there’s not much info on it.

CTC well-known for keeping low headcount relative to size of business b/c they are a 'culture-first' shop, and wanted to ensure over-growth wouldn't hurt/dilute culture.
Akuna comparatively newer, and leaned on the fat years to drastically grow headcount (as well as ops) fast as possible and grab experienced employees from wherever ASAP. But revenue per employee looks quite different, etc.
