      Pros

      You will learn a great deal at this company. I personally learned a ton from the ETF department. Some of the benefits are great.

      Cons

      Hours are aweful depending of your team.(my hours were supposed to be 10-6 but I regularly worked 10-9, 10-10) I did get overtime which sounds like I would be making tons of money however my hours would regularly be modified to avoid paying as much overtime.(for example my boss would keep me till after 9 all week and then on Friday they would tell me to come in later so that wouldn't have as much overtime. Management is horrible, they offer to help which is good but the changes are rarely implemented. I was being heavily overworked and was easily doing the job of 3 people.

      Pros

      Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

      Cons

      No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

      Pros

      They offer resources for learning.

      Cons

      In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
