Pros

Money; They reward money makers! Love finding structures which are hard for others (including investors) to figure out.

Cons

Money is most important motivation at expense of ethics and even legality. Place could crumble any day. Tons and tons of risk. Very reliant on risky prop trading.

Pros

Annual raises and variable bonuses, Hybrid schedule, kind people, lots of events for making connections

Cons

Difficult to get an interview unless you have a referral. Otherwise not really any cons, I’ve only been here for a year so can’t really speak yet to any hindrances that might come when trying to get promoted, etc.
