Pros

Cooperative & Open culture, even between investment desks.

On the startup <-> bank culture scale it's very close to the startup end: low bureaucracy, emphasis on delivery.

Senior management are accessible and approachable.

Not too big that you end up only focused on a very niche tech/area (like FAANG), but big enough that you still get to see challenging problems.

Technology is valued and not seen as second-class employees compared to investment.

Quality of other people you interact with is pretty high.

Cons

The flip side of low bureaucracy is being light on project management. Sometimes getting things done is really about finding the right person to talk to get your request prioritized.

While big data sets do exist, most of it is readily tractable just by being a decent dev. Don't come here expecting novel Google-scale work.
