Pros

Young, fast, with a flat hierarchy. Its a very successful company with happy and passionate employees. its outlook is very strong and is looking to grow.

Cons

Trading is not for everyone. Its a great career if its a fit for you but for some people its just not the case. with trading there is always a bit of uncertainty, and for some people, a more consistent day to day job with less ups and downs is necessary.

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
