Pros

Nice office space is the only positive that comes to mind

Cons

Extremely toxic and political company culture. Certain employees get away with anything, while others are mistreated. A lot of bad, inexperienced managers who aren’t held accountable by leadership for their actions. High performing traders and a few high performing software engineers are the only ones shielded from the constant drama within the company. The company regularly hires people for random projects and newly created departments without thinking it through, and fires them when they realize it didn’t make sense to hire them in the first place. An overall really badly run organization. Would not recommend to anyone.
