Pros

There are good benefits and free lunch.

Cons

With all of the firing that happens here is a bit like being in South America during the period of the forced disappearances. As such it's hard to make friends and build working relationships in this environment. For example, one day we were taken to a room by the COO of our fund and told that lot of the traders had been sacked, the next week we get an email telling us the COO has been sacked. During the time I had there I saw entire teams disappear and in one case an entire fund that was not profitable (traders, developers, trade support staff).
