      Pros

      -Still has a good reputation amongst recruiters -Some people are smart and care about you(mostly juniors) -whilst pay is poor compared to other firms it’s still good compared to other industries

      Cons

      -Very limited career progression and learning, won’t make any effort to align to your interests -pay is poor compared to other firms, especially 2nd year and beyond -layoffs and struggling as a company creating more and more toxic environment -bit of a boys club for the seniors who lots were friends before joining, they don’t take responsibility and blame others -Best talent joins IMC or Optiver and some employees seem to have a chip on their shoulder needing to prove they are smart at the detriment of others

      Pros

      The Training: Still one of the best "Trader 101" programs in the industry. The focus on options theory and market making is rigorous. The People: You’re surrounded by high-IQ quants and devs. Low ego at the junior level. Perks: baristas, great views, and a casual "wear what you want" culture that isn’t just PR.

      Cons

      Meritocratic (mostly): PnL speaks. If your desk makes money, you’re generally left alone to build. Cons: * Opacity: Bonus calculations and career progression feel like a black box. There’s a noticeable "inner circle" culture at the top. Work-Life Volatility: It’s prop trading, so hours are expected, but the "always-on" expectation for global shifts can be taxing without the commensurate pay bump seen elsewhere.
