Pros

Hours are very flexible. Benefits, perks and pay are quite competitive. Hiring standards are very high. I work with very smart people.

Cons

Technology is not always cutting edge. Bureaucracy and legacy software gets in the way of doing your job at times. Secrecy and lack of transparency create impediments.

Pros

- Cutting-edge work: if you're interested in the intersection of finance and tech (or just a true techie or math / science geek), then the day-to-day will be genuinely exciting. This place really is pushing the boundaries of what data / analytics can do in the markets -- which shows in the results - Lots of opportunity for self-starters: the company is growing in a number of exciting ways. If you're eager to get involved, people will gladly give you the opportunity - Great people: smart, humble, open, and motivated -- people here are genuinely happy and there's a general awareness of being somewhere special - Exceptional culture: this truly is the "best place for nice geeks," with Silicon Valley-type perks (several gyms with classes, boundless snacks, music room, hacker lab, roof deck, poker lessons, arcade games, etc.) and a focus on work-life balance that's unheard-of in finance

Cons

- Can be silo-ed: the large number of initiatives (especially at this growth stage) causes occasional disconnects / fragmentation between teams -- it's hard to keep up with everything that's going on across the company, especially since individuals / teams naturally tend to keep to themselves - Career growth can be opaque: it's not always clear where you're headed or how you can get there
