Pros

* Employee stability - Numerous long term employees (10+ years and well beyond)

Cons

* The tech stack lacks direction and coherence. The monolithic Java based trading systems have huge deployment issues. * Numerous consecutive rollbacks of said trading system last year/this year points at bad quality control in the software process. * The above must be embarrassing for client facing staff and awkward at best for connected electronic platforms to make firm plans. Release schedules are too often missed. * Long term employees are severely behind the times knowledge and skill wise.

Pros

Absolutely none whatsoever, none. None. Zero. Work ANYWHERE but here. It's toxic.

Cons

I have to give them one star? That's VERY generous. They're not worth 100th of one. They'll screw you any which way they can, be it the ponzi scheme 'bonus' which is actually just a tax dodge; will ignore and delay your move once you do see the light and resign, and the working environment is hair on fire chaos with no leadership. BGC quietly reduced the redundancy payments for everyone they laid off due to COVID- staff that helped them recover from 9/11. AWFUL PLACE. WORK ANYWHERE BUT HERE.
