Pros

- The most senior traders know how to trade - Friendly, generally - Lots of food - Ex employees seem to land on their feet very nicely. A testament to the firm's solid fundamental training.

Cons

- Questionable recruiting professionalism - Not all groups have equal opportunities for learning or to showcase talent - Opaque career advancement within the firm - Shockingly cliquey for its size. "Flat" structure only nominally. - Potential hires with strong quantitative/technical backgrounds are not given appropriate opportunities to demonstrate their value. - For a firm that has been recruiting since 2013 there are shockingly few survivors from successive hiring classes.

Pros

Amazing place to both start your career and come in mid-career if you are looking for a challenge and to be a big fish in a small pond. Lots of growth opportunities for people who work hard. Leadership is made up of good people who are honest and transparent. Fun events, free food, genuinely nice colleagues who are easy to work with. Very exciting time to be at the firm as well, lots of moving parts.

Cons

You have to be someone who thrives in a fast-paced and ever evolving environment!
