      Pros

      Great opportunity to observe how not to manage, treat or compensate people. Great opportunity to know what it feels like to be treated as a commodity, not a human.

      Cons

      Management is novice and arbitrary; the CEO is the most awkward, odd person I've met and random in his decisions; and the firm represents all that is wrong with the financial industry.

      Pros

      Opportunity to work with extremely bright and driven colleagues. Strong emphasis on technology and data-driven decision-making. Competitive compensation packages and great office perks in the Austin tech hub.

      Cons

      The workload can be intense with high expectations for delivery. The proprietary nature of the work means using many in-house tools rather than industry-standard open source. Can feel siloed depending on which specific project or team you are assigned to.
