Great compensation (salary, bonus, massages, good coffee, decent food 3 times a day).Cons: Claims ‘people are key,’ however: * Compensation is often used as an excuse to be treated badly. * More than once, you are reminded that tech doesn’t earn the money. What trading wants, trading gets. More so, there’s a lot of focus towards public appearance, while internally there are only eyes on how to make more money.
