Pros

The food is good and barista

Cons

The barista is probably the only person you can trust at this company, Ex traders getting promoted into roles outside of trading like they're owed something. They have zero experience in that area or experience in running a team. Making up horrible lies all the time to promote negative feedback culture. Can't trust anyone.

Pros

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
