Pros
From day one I was welcomed into KCG by great people that were genuinely happy I joined. The firm is filled with highly intelligent, hard working people that have a good attitude. From my personal experience, people are always willing to assist, answer questions, and explain things. There is a ton of flexibility, and we truly have a cohesive work environment. Hard work is rewarded, while we also have the ability to take a breather when necessary in one of our rec spaces. The benefits are great, and there are plenty of perks. Finally, one of the main reasons I love my job is because of my boss and my team. This is the happiest I have been in my career thus far and I feel very fortunate.
Cons
There are a small number of people here that are stuck in the mindset of our legacy brands. Those people are unwilling to embrace the changes, which at times can cause friction and makes it harder for some other people to do their job.
