Interesting place

Pros

Lots of exiting things to do and interesting projects to work on. News, data, analytics, messaging, risk, trading systems, electronic trading, etc. The list goes on and on.

Cons

Management can be arrogant. This would not be a problem if they had the expertise to back it up, but often they do not. There is a lot of resistance to taking the steps necessary to fix big problems. They prefer hacks and work arounds.

Business Outlook

Pros

The salary and bonus is great. Pantry with all different food wasn't best but was okay. Chances for career growth is good. And if you are eligible you will get reimbursement for tuition fees, that's a good thing.

Cons

You have to be workaholic. No work life balance. The later you leave every day the more your higher manager likes you irrespective of what you do.

Business Outlook

Pros

This is a Great company that is well poised be a big player in the Marketplace for a very long time. They offer great benefits and they do take care of their valued employees. This is a very dynamic, never a dull moment, environment. Once your in, there are abundant opportunities for movement within the company, both locally and internationally.

Cons

It used to be a lot more tight knit, when I first started, 15+ years ago. This is an unfortunate byproduct of maximum growth over the years. Personally I think it was a fair trade to give up some of the closeness of days, past. Fortunately, the closeness comes from your work group now.
