Pros

Good work life balance and competitive pay. Some very talented technologists work at KCG so there is a lot you can learn

Cons

Lack of filtering information from management downwards. Very US-centric which can be frustrating when trying to get things done in the London office.

Two years on from the merger still a lot of us and them separation. Management have some good ideas about where the firm should be positioned but the execution on actually getting to those goals is lacking.
