Pros

Good perks/ benefits Pay is ok

Cons

Politics are rampant here with a TON of favoritism going around, even with a flat structure. Even the best benefits cannot save this company from the toxic environment. Traders have preferential treatment compared to back office/support personnel. If I could give 0 stars I would.
