Pros

Chance of getting an offer are high if you add value and can point to inefficiencies (many) /correct & change.
Cons
Outdated / old systems & software Old-school aversion to technological change/ innovation. For example,the adaptation rate of new native software apps and tools are extremely slow or non-existent, which ends up bloating the workload and productivity of the tech & data teams. For some reason Interns 21/ovr aren't invited to the holiday party. Just kind of disappointing since it's so highly buzzed about and anticipated throughout the trading floor /company. CEO is an enigma has a strange looming God-like fearing presence. When we moved to the new building he has the only non-transparent glass office. I guess this isn't totally a con it's just bizarre and very awkward if you run into him in the elevator bank.
