Pros

Great company very profitable. Mostly good people who know how to run a business and make a profit. Excellent growth opportunities in foreign markets. Diverse product portfolio and keen interest investing in growth startups.

Cons

Just one thing that worries me is they are the last exchange company to have a true monopoly on trade execution, clearing and market data in one silo. Reminds me of where the CBOE was in 1999 or where AT&T was in the last 70's.

Pros

Flexible work schedule Good office location being close to public transportation and great lunch spots

Cons

Driven by Internal Politics. Most of the upper managers are not too bright and mostly incompetent. Feels more like working for the government than the private sector because if has no real competition. This company lives and dies by it Washington lobbyists.

Pros

Nothing at all. Maybe just that it teaches you to develop a thick skin for all the mental trauma this job puts you through.

Cons

- this company is cheap, treats tech as a cost instead of a profit maker - change management meetings are like in being in front of a tribunal. I should never have been asked to justify my changes in them as an entry level college grad, much less attend those meetings - I was entry level, paid 80K, and worked 50 hour weeks with additional hours for on call, which was way under market value for the work I was doing - my manager was a kiss up, punch down kind of guy, never protected me, said Yes to too many commitments on behalf of the team
