      One of a kind company

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Very competitive environment where you can also have fun and be casual when it suits the moment - Excellent learning curve due to working together with very smart people for world class player in financial markets - Fantastic primary and secondary conditions - Humble culture and down to earth mentality

      Cons

      - Due to fast growth and increasing regulation more focus on controls. It is a necessity and in general quite well managed. One of the strengths of company is to be taking very good risk/reward calls.

      Top-shelf work, benefits and colleagues for people who want to be challenged

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Many opportunities to learn, make a direct impact and develop your career (especially in tech and trading.) New hires get university-quality training on finance that works for any level of financial knowledge. - Every day is different. - Great benefits and rewards. The benefits (gym, meals etc.) give people time and energy to focus on and enjoy their work. Lots of support for expats and their families. - Smart, driven, fun, multicultural colleagues. - Is a successful company that improves every year (in benefits, cool initiatives, the bottom line...) - There is an increasing emphasis on corporate social responsibility.

      Cons

      - The work environment is direct, fast-paced and frequently changes. Performance is held to a high standard. People are expected to continuously challenge/develop themselves and make steps in their career. It's not for everyone. - Sometimes short-term, highly visible successes are rewarded more than slower, long-term improvements. - There are few options for flexible working. - I'd love to see more diversity in senior management.
