Pros

Nice office with beautiful lake views Decent place to have on resume

Cons

Toxic people in tech leadership who do not care about your well being and have very little respect for you. Lots of pressure from upper management and unrealistic deadlines. A bunch of people left the firm in 2020. Trust me there a much better trading firms to work at.

Pros

Events, trips, kitchen, barista

Cons

Lack of any experience of technology in senior management. CEO reads a random technology article believes he is an expert and demands it be implemented. Refuses to listen to actual experts with over a decade of knowledge that the company has hired. Unwillingness to fix legacy technology issues due to cost which leads to constant issues throughout the environment. Turnover rate in IT makes it impossible to improve upon years of barely keeping the lights on.
