      Pros

      The money is good. Sometimes interesting work.

      Cons

      Most of the money you make goes to shareholder and managers. Let's say you have just joined and the spot you are trading makes 10m in a year. Half will go to shareholders, most of the rest will go to managers, and you'd take home a bonus of maybe 200-300k. For the first few years your boss will literally earn 20x what you are in bonuses, and he won't even be enduring the stress of trading. Still pretty good money though.

      constant office renovations were a bit distracting, but was told it should be done in 2026

      Pros

      Good compensation, collaborative environment. Company also seems to aim to be at forefront of new tech such as AI

      Cons

      When HR mgmt is on record stating things like the company shouldn’t hire females anymore, it really makes you wonder how they make decisions on who should fill management positions
