Pros

- Good bonus - Many freebies, company trips. - Diverse peer group - Ok Salary

Cons

- Bad middle-management, Senior management is even worse. Heights of micromanagement (more stressful than the real work) - Company has changed in last 3-4 years, mostly for bad. - Only motivation to work is the bonus (if company makes good profit and manager likes you) - Too many random changes, restructuring very frequently by handful of people having no clear vision and communication. - Almost 30% of the company does nothing but sits in meetings/offsites.

Pros

Very small company with flat hierarchy so you can do your own projects

Cons

Very non-systematic trading shop; most traders have little quantitative experience out of fast mental math, so it always underperforms competitors leading to extremely low salaries resulting in only poor quality traders and people stuck on visas reaching seniority
