Pros

Solid work-life balance Interesting prop products

Cons

Compensation is not up to par with industry expectations The Regulatory Division is the red headed step child of the exchange. Some of the higher ups are stuck in the open outcry years and really don't understand the "new" way of trading. Higher ups are prone to "not invented here" bias and generally look more at a person's title instead of the persons knowledge on a given subject. This is big with rank and file who may have advanced degrees (MBA/MSF/JD) or specialization (former MM) and yet are shut down by middle and upper middle management who has longevity over actual knowledge of a case/rules/way of trading.

Pros

401k 1:2 match very nice

Cons

CEO should be fired, honestly the best was Ed. People are now treated as tools. Top down pressure causing managers to enforce unrealistic goals to force people out. At least pay people like big tech for suffering. Avoid this company at all cost.
