Pros

You get some experience working with a variety of securities, especially equities, fixed income, and derivatives, most of the people are fun to work with, opportunity for flex scheduling, depending on your business unit, that is if you work an additional 45 minutes every day for the fiscal year, you can get a day off every two weeks.

Cons

The compensation is low by industry standards, resulting in higher employee turnover rates. Sometimes there is a lot of pressure to ensure that deadlines are met. There can be times that you may have to work longer hours.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

The company has a great severence package. Unfortunately thats a pro because they are laying off workers every 3 months until most of operations are offshore. Decent 401k match and vacation.

Cons

Layoffs, pay is low. Return to office mandate.
