      Pros

      Flat organization Senior management approachable Bigger than a small firm but much smaller than bulge bracket banks

      Cons

      Very top heavy. Has a tradition of bringing Sr. traders from bulge-bracket with guarantees but always end up getting average traders. Does not believe in training and not a good place to start your career. Support groups are almost always neglected as the compensation is always distributed at the top. Poor technological systems

      Pros

      I liked most of the people. However, I've heard from friends that are current employees that the culture has gotten worse: more cut-throat, less friendly.

      Cons

      While I had a good experience I witnessed many situations where sr analysts would overwork and berate their associates.

      Long hours and inefficient hierarchy which creates unnecessary work.
