Pros

Good but worsening culture Good benefits Good pay on a good year

Cons

Years behind the best trading firms. The tech is literally built by generations of inexperienced engineers inheriting tech debt, rewriting it poorly, and repeating the cycle. Good engineers are rare and do not stay for long. Ultimately it boils down to poor management. There are little consequences or rewards to under or over performing. Good engineering is not noticed let alone rewarded. Promotions are based more on politics than impact.

Pros

Among the top minds in Finance. Incredibly strong and healthy culture. Rare combination of top talent and humble employees. For those who value team oriented firms CTC is second to none.

Cons

None that I can think of

Generous benefits overshadowed by high turnover and politics

Pros

* Generous PTO time * Generous benefits * In office breakfast * On the edge of AI adoption

Cons

* Constant revolving door of employees * Rife with internal politics * Senior Managers (head of a tech stream) who have little coding experience fire experienced engineers on whim. It takes long time for anyone to come in and get up to speed. All the while causing low employee morale * Comp fluctuates wildly from year to year. The amount promised to you when you join can be cut as much as 30 -40%.
