      Pros

      Hands on experience from day one, with flat structure and casual environment. You get to work with a lot of smart people.

      Cons

      You are subject to ups and downs of the derivatives industry, which is a shared risk exposure you get when you work in the industry.

      Pros

      + healthy atmosphere + open door policy + emphasis on clean, simple solutions to complex problems + excellent work life balance + a quorum of highly intelligent focused people in IT and trading

      Cons

      - some weaker middle management historically. This has now largely been rectified - aggressively high standards have left some teams stretched thin on staff

      Pros

      Culture, dress code, cutting edge technology, brilliant people

      Cons

      Same as anywhere, some politics, stress (But could be a plus if you strive on it), hours could get long depending on what you do there. Very competitive so if you are a smart one, thats a plus as well.
