Pros

the company in itself is very good; the quality of live and direction does vary a lot depending on the group. Fixed income and commodities have gone a large transformation, so the organization is messy, draconian with constant treats of getting you fired.

Cons

--No life-work balance --The job you do is very different from the job you were hired to do; and somehow is your fault

We understand this type of environment is not a great fit for every employee. We encourage you to talk to your manager or with a member of our recruiting team to ensure we’re meeting the expectations you had of your job responsibilities.
