Best Decision I ever made

Pros

I moved across the country to work at IMC and have been so grateful for that decision. - Incredibly intelligent co-workers that are willing to help with a positive attitude - Lots of opportunity to learn new things and grow in ability - Amazing benefits (health, dental, etc fully paid). Plus extras such as fun reimbursement, commute reimbursement, free breakfast/lunch. Happy hour every Friday. Yearly company trip, Christmas parties and more! - Awesome giving to the local community and world at large. Seriously they give back to a lot of great organizations and give you lots of chances to participate! - Constantly striving to improve you as an individual and themselves as a company. - No artificial schedules are deadlines. I have never seen a GANTT chart. You push yourself and work hard, if things don't got right you have the ability to try again. - Flexibility in work is great. Have a sick kid work from home that day. Most people do seem to work about 50 hours a week. - I have worked at many companies and IMC is hands down the best place I have ever worked.

Cons

Really none. The company is very selective in who they hire, so getting in is the hardest part.

Dream Company

Pros

Office in Sears Tower, insane pay and bonuses compared to other industries and still pretty high for a hedge fund/trading firm, outstanding culture, emphasis on philanthropy and giving back, leadership/personal development, low turnover, Trainee program in Amsterdam office, outstanding leadership, Friday office happy hours

Cons

None yet. You get what you put in, both bonus and work-wise so if you're lazy, this isn't the place for you.

Pros

-Modern office with nice amenities, great benefits for industry -Work with pretty smart people -Not a lot of pressure relative to competitors -Constantly learning and contributing -Pretty good compensation relative to industry

Cons

-Not a lot of great talent -Long hours. All traders work at least 11-12 hours a day. -Not as good as competitors -Traders rarely communicate with other desks; desks aren't siloed but desks almost seem to operate on their own -Doesn't feel like anyone really likes each other. People just work and leave. At Friday happy hours maybe 10% of the office shows up. -Fair amount of turnover even though they don't like to admit it. People leave or get fired (more of the former, but still some of the latter).
