Pros

Decent pay, free lunch. I got a 50% raise when I joined the firm, which was pretty nice. The catered free lunch was just ok, but hey it was free.

Cons

Bad culture. Be prepared to be yelled at by traders if anything remotely related to your responsibilities went wrong. If you accomplished something, however, no one will come congratulate you, because performing well is "expected". My manager constantly sent out work-related mails at 3 am, and we were constantly working overtime past 8 pm. Work-life balance was out of the window.
