Pros
- Above market compensation (only if you look at the total package) - Getting to work with capable people, there's absolutely no room for incompetence - even if you're young and inexperienced - Great place to be after establishing your career (but not anytime before that) - One of the top trading houses to work for in the industry
Cons
- With most of the total package in the annual bonus, coupled with the culling season that starts before the bonus is paid out, there is a palpable sense of fear. Most are protective of their turf and see colleagues as potential rivals. - Come here at the peak of your career, not anytime before. There are limited opportunities and seniors are not willing to teach because you are nothing but a cheaper replacement for themselves. - This place is an old boys' club, where relationships matter more than actual capability (as long as you're not too mediocre) and what people think of you matter more than your actual capabilities. Very male dominated, especially on the commercial end. - Toxic environment that rewards money making; sometimes crossing grey ethical boundaries, and oftentimes giving revenue makers the right to be obnoxious
