      Very competitive

      Pros

      Very good expertise in options market making and position taking. They always have more ideas to make money than they have dev resources to throw at them. As a goog developer with a little bit of understanding of the business side there's heaps of opportunities to do well.

      Cons

      The company has gotten very big in recent years, and has been losing its initial start up feel. The performance evaluation for developers often tends to prioritize shorter term deliveries. Big projects that span multiple review cycles and take a while to show their value tend to get under rewarded. This creates the wrong incentives among developers.

      Pros

      interesting problems, you get opportunities that are hard to get in other companies if you take the initiative for it, juniors are given a lot of autonomy over their work

      Cons

      cutting costs lately, decent risk of getting fired if you're not meeting the increasingly high bar
