      Pros

      Global marketplace covering all asset classes: fixed income, equities, foreign exchange, commodities, energy and metals. Incredible opportunity to learn about the markets. World class clearing house. Great benefits and competitive compensation.

      Cons

      Extremely political organization. Almost impossible to be promoted to a senior level unless you make politicking a full time job. Very siloed. Not a lot of work life balance. Somewhat cynical culture. Board of directors way too large. Meeting for meetings sake is out of control.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Friendly working environment. - Slow-paced and relaxed. - Opportunity to work on high-impact financial software. Quite useful if you want to get into a trading firm later on.

      Cons

      - Limited skill growth capability (tools are severely locked down, etc) - Work life balance can be shaky sometimes since systems fail after 5pm, weekend, etc. - Documentation is terribly organized. - Not enough focus on engineering culture. Overall probably not the best place to stick around if you like exploring new skills, building from the ground up, taking ownership etc.
