      Pros

      Comp is very good If you can handle the stress and toxic culture, career growth can be good and there is lots to learn Surface level benefits such as free food and merch is good

      Cons

      - Extremely stressful work culture - Evaluated based on how your "project" goes, not how all of your other work goes - Can get put on a PIP/fired quite easily - Thrown into the deep end as a graduate and will get cut if you don't do well in your first project

      Pros

      worked on a lot of different areas of the trading stack; often close with researchers learned about technical components for data driven trading saw my impact day to day

      Cons

      constant office renovations were a bit distracting, but was told it should be done in 2026

      Pros

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

      Cons

      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
