Pros

Flat organization Senior management approachable Bigger than a small firm but much smaller than bulge bracket banks

Cons

Very top heavy. Has a tradition of bringing Sr. traders from bulge-bracket with guarantees but always end up getting average traders. Does not believe in training and not a good place to start your career. Support groups are almost always neglected as the compensation is always distributed at the top. Poor technological systems
