Pros

Best training and medical coverage. They have gym, medical insurances and provide opportunities to learn.

Cons

Too many hierarchy, you report to many different portfolio managers, compliance managers and all review your performances. Very difficult to satisfy all. You need a good grasp with networking to survive there. One manager do not like you, you are doom even you performed well with the rest of the management. It is still very focus on academics. No scholar, CFA, CAIA, CPA.. you generally just fall under the support staffs.

Pros

Good vision, good talent (under bad management), market rate compensation

Cons

​Incompetent Leadership: Constant, chaotic reorganizations driven by new senior leads looking for short-term wins rather than sustainable engineering. ​Tone-Deaf Management: Townhalls are heavily curated to ignore genuine feedback regarding burnout and management debt. ​The "Silent Layoff" Strategy: Mass PIPs and aggressive performance grading are being used to quietly trim headcount, destroying team morale. ​Inefficient Ecosystem: Paralyzing security and risk processes block execution at every turn, while engineering teams are expected to run at 200%+ capacity. ​Inefficient HR: A heavy layer of senior HR personnel who offer zero practical guidance, zero empathy, and zero worker protection.
