Pros

Lot of free benefits, bonuses

Cons

If you are not a trader, HR or a sycophant then this isnt the place for you.Work life balance sucks, Hypocrisy at its best as its definitely not a great place to work due to arrogant nature of the people.No structured policies so if you are great at your work but your boss isn’t happy with you (for other reasons) then you can’t survive.
