      Pros

      Pay is above industry average

      Cons

      Comically political dressed as high performance in all offices, APAC being the worst but Ams/Chicago are not far behind A lot of mediocre people get to the top if they know how to play the game here Prepare to become a wage slave, the team leads and senior traders here have no life and they praise each other for the WLB that they sacrifice

      constant office renovations were a bit distracting, but was told it should be done in 2026

      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
