Pros

You get to trade in a great team environment basically straight away. When the company profit doubles (or triples!) everyone's pay doubles. This creates a really strong 'we're all in it together' feeling across the company. Still a lot of growth and upside to do new things.

Cons

Options trading is an intense job and not for everyone. I love the excitement but it's not for everyone.

Pros

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

Cons

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
