Pros

Trading side: Well-known and respected firm in fixed income, commodity, and currencies. Work with some very intelligent and passionate traders, software engineers, quants. Very aggressive, forward-thinking firm that is willing to put capital toward trading ideas as long as you have done your research. Company side: Free breakfast and lunch everyday, unlimited healthy snacks and drinks. Good compensation and lots of benefits if you are interested in opting-in. Lots of company events like developer speaker series, poker nights, chess, yoga classes, chair massage, wine tasting, etc. They are not stingy and is willing to spend money to keep their employees happy and healthy.

Cons

Sometimes the hours are long and it can get pretty grueling. Expenses can run pretty high for the traders.

Pros

Great benefits, good employees, good pay structure to start, good training

Cons

they put an emphasis on education and it's only for the first 5 weeks. traders often leave early or are hard to talk to. you really have to make it on your own. They are still developing traders as if its the 90s or the 2000s. Didn't really see much room to grow.
