Great if you like the work (Asset Management)

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Huge opportunity to learn from and work with the best traders and developers. Citadel will do everything (within reason) to help you be effective. I haven't stressed out about feeding myself in ages.

Cons

Not strictly a con, but a generally less mature infrastructure compared to tech companies or CitSec is unpleasant to work with and is not for everyone. However, if you are able to improve it, then you will be recognized for your efforts.

Glassdoor is making me say something. I guess the level of intensity is not for everyone, but that's not a con for me.
