Pros

- Nice office with many fish tanks - Free snacks in pantry - Always hiring - willing to hire people with little or not experience - work with smart people - Free evening finance training course offered by Bloomberg University - Excellent summer party, but no Christmas party

Cons

- Below average pay. You might get higher initial salary, but it won't increase much after that. - Micromanagement - Long hours (My manager usual work hour is 7am-6pm) - Bonus is heavily weighted on company and department performance. Therefore, if your department sucks, you won't get much bonus no matter how good you are. - Flat corporate structure and hard to advance. Average 5-10 years to become team lead and 10-20 years to become manager - Small desk spaces
