Pros

very friendly staff depending on your team. excellent benefits, dental, pension, flex hours and work from home, pays for your courses, CFA included. sports reimbursement too.

Cons

low starting salary but made up for with the 1.5xOT hrs for anything over 40 a week, and 2xOT for anything over 50 assuming you dont mind doing the ot, but heck, if you get the work from home to do the OT, why not.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

The company has a great severence package. Unfortunately thats a pro because they are laying off workers every 3 months until most of operations are offshore. Decent 401k match and vacation.

Cons

Layoffs, pay is low. Return to office mandate.
