      Pros

      - very smart and motivated colleagues - atmosphere is more like a software startup than a company in finance - high level of autonomy within months - given a free reign to explores new ideas - very strong remuneration. Approximately 1M aud per annum within 4-5 years - very approachable management

      Cons

      - tiring work; being a trader requires a lot of concentration - variable income; majority of payment is dependent on company profits. Quite standard for trading companies though

      Good compensation, collaborative environment. Company also seems to aim to be at forefront of new tech such as AI

      When HR mgmt is on record stating things like the company shouldn’t hire females anymore, it really makes you wonder how they make decisions on who should fill management positions
