Pros
- Working with really smart and sharp people in the industry. Also everybody is friendly and willing to help. - Highly competitive pay as both junior and senior level, benefits(5 weeks vacation!), and free catered lunch - Intellectually challenging. You are on the production desk in only 3 months and start making trading decisions. - Transparent bonus structure and management. Unlike other firms, we normally have the rough idea of how much we(and others) would get paid at the end of the year. - If you are good, you can advance pretty quickly.
Cons
- Trading is not for everyone; sometimes it could be pretty stressful. - Not sure the management fires people as its last resort. Its not good to see people voluntarily leaving/fired while we seem understaffed.
