Pros

There are quite many companies using the Algo's software, so you might well land a job with them. You get a large exposure to both market and credit risk.

Cons

No out-of-work life, very low salaries, a lot of stress. Large rate of turn-over. You have to learn everything by yourself, everybody is too "busy" to teach you. You have to do your job from scratch, with little interaction. Lack of coordination and difficult contact with Toronto, due to the time difference.

Pros

Great culture of respect and reward. There has been a big emphasis in the last 2 years on improving morale and recognition, which has been very well received. The company really does value it's culture and now strives to protect it.

Cons

Sometimes long hours, due to clients with demanding requirements. But this is offset by a flexible work/life balance policy, and the ability to mitigate travel with working from home and other flexible options. Respect for the individual is important to the firm.
