Pros: - Generous WLB.
- Decent exit opportunities.
- Decent learning opportunities.

Cons: - A technical ceiling exists, and the company does things OK, but not excellently.
- It is hard to gain much more from grinding way harder, unlike other places, if you are very motivated and compelled to do so.

Pros: + Amazing salary, perks, parties, and team lunches in Michelin restaurants.
+ Stands with you even in difficult times, ensuring you can perform at your best.
+ Work-life balance is great. There's never been pressure to work overtime; working hours are about 8:45 AM - 5:45 PM.
+ Some C++/performance gurus work there.
+ Loyal and best performers are given opportunities to quickly grow within the company.
Cons: It's HFT, options market making, so the company makes loads of money when there's a crisis in the world. They fund charities to compensate.
Remote IDE/coding setup could be improved.
Some daily tasks are not so fascinating.
C++ and Java, so not very exotic technologies are used.
