Pros

- Very competitive environment where you can also have fun and be casual when it suits the moment - Excellent learning curve due to working together with very smart people for world class player in financial markets - Fantastic primary and secondary conditions - Humble culture and down to earth mentality

Cons

- Due to fast growth and increasing regulation more focus on controls. It is a necessity and in general quite well managed. One of the strengths of company is to be taking very good risk/reward calls.

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
