Pros: Good work-life balance, good coworkers.

Cons: Pay too low compared to other firms.

Pros: Work-life balance can be good, at least sometimes. The office location is great. Free drinks and company trips are offered. Compensation can be good when the market favors it.

Cons: If you are a graduate and interested in market making, this can be a good firm for you to learn. Technologies used are very limited, not fantastic. After some years, you can decide if you're really interested in this area and probably you can still find another job in the market (although the skills may not be that marketable). Some senior folks are not that friendly and make you feel terrible. For example, they may be talking something completely wrong without knowing it, and they stop you to challenge it. How would you feel if your 'manager' is like a kid that doesn't know the programming basics? Besides this, insulting words and personal attacks are something you may experience during work.

Pros: met some remarkable, intelligent, and insightful colleagues. Many engineers, developers, and quants are brilliant. PLM is a force of nature.

Cons: The company is run by dullards at the top. Antagonistic, either. The few times good engineering leads are hired, the (mis)management team goes full retard.
