Business Outlook

Pros

Enjoyed working with all the people. As collaborative as budgets could allow. I was givewn a lot of flexibility by the head of trading to develop my models without distraction. I was also given the unofficial ability to direct IT to implement my models very quickly and efficiently for use in production.

Cons

Not enough investment in technology. Outsourcing everything and contracting out the technology made it hard to accomplish some tasks that would otherwise be relatively easy to get done - this was especially true with regards to data/speed of data retrieval.

Pros

- They don't work you too hard - If you're good, you can work here indefinitely, that is, as long as they don't decide to axe your entire team

Cons

- Lack of IT practices - Technology is from the stone age - They hire inexperienced graduates through contracting firms who know absolutely nothing, so you learn nothing from them - Very bad IT practices - A place where there are more managers than there are workers - Incredibly hierarchical - No transparency - Tons of paperwork to make the smallest IT changes
