Pros

good entry level start, especially accounting

Cons

low pay, not professional corporate culture. People that work here have no clue about finance even though they work for financial institution. Moreover, dress like they shop at Wal-MArt ( maybe they are). If you are interested in the stock market, motivated and results driven this is NOT the place to be. Most of th epeople are here because they need a job not a career.

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

The company has a great severence package. Unfortunately thats a pro because they are laying off workers every 3 months until most of operations are offshore. Decent 401k match and vacation.

Cons

Layoffs, pay is low. Return to office mandate.
