Pros

An exchange's internal business is hidden from the public eye. Joining an exchange is a unique opportunity to learn from inside something that is not taught in any school or book. This particular exchange has a very dynamic environment.

Cons

Although there are some departments that have a team spirit, in general the environment is very hostile. Abundance of open and hidden conflicts within and between various teams, lack of basic practical work ethics and mutual respect.

Advice to Senior Management

Make an alliance with a larger market player who can effectively takeover and change the culture. It is very unlikely that this culture, that takes its roots in 1970s can change from within to survive in the current market conditions.
