Pros

Compensation, benefits, work, smart people, used to be very collaborative, now occasionally collaborative. Making Markets is fun and interesting to study and learn about. In earlier days prioritizing work life balance was done well as it was needed for ambitious workers.

Cons

Silos, secrecy, lack of transparency, no distribution of common tools leading to tools redundancy, project ideation easily and often are shot down, egos, work life balance has gotten worse over the years.

Pros

Good hours for finance, ~50 hours is standard but some people work 60 (but typically aren’t pressured to, people just enjoy the job) The coworkers are great. Brilliant people that are hardworking, nice people that are great to work with. The environment is a lot more collaborative and less in-comp-with-coworkers than other shops. The work is very interesting and we have fun (albeit tough) problems to solve You learn so much and are given a lot of trust/autonomy pretty quickly

Cons

The job is very difficult. The learning curve is steep and the job can be tiring.
