Pros

Fast pace, and plenty to learn about the dynamic of the financial markets.

Cons

Depending on which desk you work for like commodities or ETFs, some of the traders can be wonderful to work with. IF you end up on the Australian Options market making desk, then AVOID at all cost. Uncivilised, unhygienic and pompous egos which is laughable. Dubs itself as a leading prop/tech trading firm but still relies on Excel spredsheets to settle trades. Mundane workflow High Turnover Terrible salary

Pros

From my experience, it’s been a very strong place to work. I came from big tech in Manhattan, and moving to Bala Cynwyd (PA) was an adjustment at first, but I’ve actually grown to like it — it’s quieter, and Manhattan is still only about 1.5–2 hours away, so I end up going back most weekends anyway. The people here are technically exceptional but also approachable and collaborative, which makes for a genuinely positive culture. The problems we work on feel more intellectually engaging than what I’ve seen in typical tech roles, and there’s a clear, serious investment in machine learning and quantitative research. Compensation is top-tier, and the office locations — whether NYC, Chicago, or Bala Cynwyd — come with great perks like high-quality gyms and frequent social events, from sports to poker, plus summer happy hours. The food is also a nice bonus, especially compared to many tech companies that don’t offer meals at all. Overall, the work–life balance has been solid.

Cons

Nothing major to be noted
