Pros

very smart people continue to be drawn to this company great place to learn a multitude of product types and trading strategies (if you can find someone willing to divulge extra information and time) benefits time off and holidays

Cons

groups are run too lean and resource allocation in critical areas are not well managed you must be willing to participate in the political popularity contest in order to get ahead very little work life balance (they will work the life right out of you) recognition for the people who are actually doing the work is poor at best, management takes a lot of credit

Pros

Was a Growing company with good future. Compensation is not great but above average. Good location in Newport Beach, CA.

Cons

The IT department doesn't run professionally. So, your growth manly depends on how you present to your superiors. As, most of the salary comes from Year End Bonus, everything depends on your image with superiors. There will be no reviews and nobody will care for peers. So, you should be prepared to handle very mediocre people rising very fast and dominating smart people. Those who do good work, will tend to get more work. Those will have very poor work life balance. At the same time, more that 50% people will be enjoying relaxed life like a retiree! Technology is not getting modernized. You will work with ancient structure of one machine, one server , one database and shell scripts. Evaluate after Bill Gross's unceremonious exit!

Pros

The on boarding process was great. The new building and workplace supersedes any place I've ever worked at. Everything is brand new and top notch. The benefits are decent.

Cons

There is too much office politics and management does not listen to employee concerns. They are lacking in leadership skills across the board. The only feedback you will receive is negative or none at all. Seems they are only concerned about making themselves look good and playing favorites. There's no career development to speak of and it's difficult to move up in the firm. They may promote you to senior status but that comes with no additional responsibility or pay. The culture lacks diversity.
