Pros

The work culture was above and beyond the industry prior to 2023, then a CEO change occurred.

Cons

It’s no surprise that the technology stack fell behind the competition. Upper management insisted that risk management and traders were the bread and butter and that technical advantages were not crucial. Well, they were wrong and then decided to let go many technical staff as if they were the problem.

Pros

High-potential, high-caliber, low-ego environment. The people at the firm really embody the broader culture of the business. There is a cohesive plan that flows from the board level down to the day-to-day work each employee does. There is also a conscious effort to develop talent, which I really appreciate.

Cons

it's a culture led firm so by nature not a fit for everyone.
