      Pros

      A group of smart people, regarding cooperation and better solution as their daily life. New enters do not need consider about anything besides work.

      Cons

      High turnover for first year analyst derives from the performance of your trading. That’s true in the whole proprietary industry, but still bring a lot of pressure. You have to be used to that.

      Cons

      A lot of their senior software engineers are incompetent. Additionally, internal organization is a mess. A lot of tasks get bounced around between teams because there is no one source of structure.
