Pros

This is the 4th trading firm I have worked at so I know the pros and cons, as well as the strengths and weakness of a good chunk of the industry. It feels like I finally found a home where managers and peers truly care about you and recognize you for your talent/work. The environment isn't toxic or nepotic like some of the other companies. It is a huge company so there are lots of resources should you need help (especially during Covid).

Cons

I think the teams could be a tad less silo'ed. It is hard to collaborate with other teams on what seems like duplicate work. Nevertheless, you are recognized for your contributions.
