Pros

Decent pay in good years, good amenities, generally friendly people.

Cons

Not competitive compared to other big HFT firms, which causes high turnover of talented people. Also massively increasing bureaucracy in the last ~2 years.

Seems like a lot of nice stuff is happenning in the beginning but then all this glitter goes away.

Cons

The pay is average, you can find a way better work-life balance with the same money in other Dutch companies. Experienced sexism.
