      Pros

      -Very strong work ethic -Hire and fire policy. Only the best survive -Best Equity Derivatives Trading company -Excellent coaching and mentoring -WIll work with the No 1 boys in the business -Never a dull day at work

      Cons

      - Working in offices outside of Amsterdam is a bit like working in a Frat house. Chicago and Australian offices are very territorial/clannish - Job growth is restricted to the business of derivatives. - Very strict non-compete.

      Good compensation, collaborative environment. Company also seems to aim to be at forefront of new tech such as AI

      When HR mgmt is on record stating things like the company shouldn’t hire females anymore, it really makes you wonder how they make decisions on who should fill management positions
