Pros

Overall pretty chill work hours and doesn't require too much work.

Cons

Not very profitable; much of the resources are merely allocated to DVE, and upper management takes all the money. There's a horrible culture where, I heard, the front office experienced a significant round of firing last year, right before bonuses were distributed, which apparently is normal. The pay is not competitive compared to that of other competitors, and learning opportunities are quite limited.

Pros

They are an active trading firm with capital and live trading accounts.

Cons

Turbulent environment with high turnover and limited sense of long-term investment in people. Leadership messaging and actual practices often did not appear aligned. Risk culture and compensation structure felt out of step with what many experienced traders would expect. At times, management seemed overly reactive and hesitant, which made it difficult to build confidence in the platform or the broader business model.
