Pros

Casual environment, friendly people, a lot of the New Age Christian leadership stuff / life coaching if you are into that. Benefits are good as well

Cons

Literally the most inexperienced people in derivatives trading run this place and come up with all of the business direction. I can't tell you how many people are "head of" this or that and have literally never had a job before coming to this place. You mostly work with inexperienced kids who think they are amazing at trading or technology; they will generally not hire experienced people from higher-tier firms. There is also a good deal of manipulation that goes on due to the mostly 20 something staff from upper management, or "The Leadership Team" as they refer to themselves. There is a ton of nepotism - I can't tell you how many people who work there have a job - even a trading job - because they are "Church Friends" with two of the owners. Looking busy, staying late, and talking about what a hard worker you are is championed over intelligence and being truly good at what you do.

Pros

This place really cared about its employees. It was probably the most transparent trading firm in the city. They had semi-annual firm update meetings. Many of the employees were owners and the group leaders knew the firm financials in detail. The firm had outstanding benefits and I knew of several instances were senior management and partners gave extra bonuses out of their own shares to take care of people.

Cons

There was a non-active partner in the business who was constantly causing distractions and took the firm's leadership focus off of making money to attempt to resolve the issue. They ultimately paid too much money to buy him out and harmed the firms capital structure in the process. The firm tried to take on too many initiatives at the same time, often being mediocre in all of them. The technology team was not organized enough and wasted money on projects where they didn't have a clear edge. The technology team needed to be managed better.
