Pros

Work with some of the best and brightest Potential to make a lot of bonus money Relaxed, Google-like work environment Generous benefits package Massages on site

Cons

New CEO brought in his own people from UBS so there has been a tremendous culture-shift going on. Lots of uncertainty due to the Knight merger. Communication has always been a weak point. Compensation and work life balance - their strong suits - only really exist for traders People's egos get in the way

Pros

Great chance to work with some of the best in the business. The employ a cost is no object, as long as it's profitable attitude. Meritocracy - Sometimes, see cons, as sometimes the Egos take over. Food pickup daily to keep you at your desk.

Cons

Too many big Egos vying for quarterly bonuses greater than annual salaries, and this causes a lot of stepping on toes. Long hours expected. Food pickup daily to keep you at your desk.
