Pros

-Still has a good reputation amongst recruiters -Some people are smart and care about you(mostly juniors) -whilst pay is poor compared to other firms it’s still good compared to other industries

Cons

-Very limited career progression and learning, won’t make any effort to align to your interests -pay is poor compared to other firms, especially 2nd year and beyond -layoffs and struggling as a company creating more and more toxic environment -bit of a boys club for the seniors who lots were friends before joining, they don’t take responsibility and blame others -Best talent joins IMC or Optiver and some employees seem to have a chip on their shoulder needing to prove they are smart at the detriment of others
