Pros

Pay is above industry average

Cons

Comically political dressed as high performance in all offices, APAC being the worst but Ams/Chicago are not far behind A lot of mediocre people get to the top if they know how to play the game here Prepare to become a wage slave, the team leads and senior traders here have no life and they praise each other for the WLB that they sacrifice
