Pros

good office view, average salary

Cons

You don't have work-life balance. Even though you work very hard, you can get easily get fired if you don't get along with everyone in the company. I've got a trader who got fired after 2 months only becasue he had different views and didn't get along with his team lead. Everyone in this company is hypocritical and not supportive. You have to be really cautious with your action and mouth. You may easily get fired because of your words or because you grab too many snacks or drinks from their kitchen.
