Great leadership, competitive salary

Pros

Great culture - free meals, cool wellness initiatives, and brilliant people. Salary is competitive and there is some what of an element of work life balance. Can't succeed here if you shy away from hard work, but if you are someone who "works hard/ plays hard" - you will do very well.

Cons

Long hours are a reality, the place has potential to be a demanding (in ebbs and flows, in my experience). Manage expectations and pace yourself, take advantage of the wellness initiatives on site and take your vacation days.

Pros

Pay is great. The company is known for very intricate and complicated transactions allowing you the ability to learn a lot if you are willing to take the time time to teach yourself.

Cons

Management is very difficult to work for. Very demanding and not flexible. If management asks for something you need to drop everything to provide to them no matter what you are working on. Management has no respect of your time or the day to day work you are preforming. Office environment is very hostile.
