Pros

- quite good salary (but not comparable with the very best firms on the market like Jane Street etc.) - nice people - nice and well-equiped office

Cons

- very long hours (everyone expects you to look at the results not at the time spent in the office which basically means that people stay up to 12 hours in the office) - bad salary and career progression - lack of transparency and clear communication between managers and workers (at least in my team)

Pros

DRW values my input and ideas, and allows me to explore new ways of conducting surveillance. The firm is not afraid to try things that may not work out in the end.

Cons

You have to have the confidence to push forward. People will help and guide you, but you must initiate the activity.
