- Good WLB by trading industry standards - People are smart and laidback - Consistently profitable - Company structure is flat - Meritocracy. No company politics I've encountered
Cons
- Not diverse, however "diversity hires" won't solve the problem - Many long tenured employees. Limited upward opportunities - Heard some desks have bad office politics - Senior management takes the lion share of profits therefore you may get smaller share of your PnL than at a competitor form

Pros
Good work environment. The company makes available everything for her employees to perform well: great infrastructure, training, on-site perks (lunches, yoga)..., great team building activities for newcomers...

As a privately-owned company, the inner-workings, performance and strategy is kept close to the chests by the partners.

- Great people to work with, very smart and helpful - Flat management structure, easier to make accomplishments and be creative - Lots of great benefits and perks
Cons
- May not be good if someone needs a lot of structure, more of an entrepreneurial type of environment.
You’re right, the people who do well here are the ones you mentioned who flourish with autonomy and the ability to challenge consensus in order to make an impact. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

Thanks for sharing your feedback. We can’t wait until you’re able to come and see the offices and meet more people in person (that should help with the silos!) but it’s great to hear from our employees who were onboarded and have had a 100% remote experience!
