Cons

It's difficult to explain all that is required

Pros

Benefits are ok not top notch but is paid for, pay is some of the highest in the field.

Cons

Lot of concern for people who actually don't do the work. Your position matters more than what you actually do within the company. Not much flexibility in work from home either.

Pros

Cons

Location, external training, stress, privacy, dress code

Pros

Casual dress every day and you will not find better insurance benefits for yourself and all dependents.

Cons

No raises so try to negotiate as much salary as possible up front without the expectation it will increase more in the next couple years. Do not count on a bonus either unless you are in the front office. During my time at Mercuria I saw many people laid off without a clear indication as to why, and some of those were with the company a year or less. Also, it is almost unheard of for people to move around departments so expect to spend 3 or so years in the role you initially accept. As for work-life balance, this really depends on which department you are in, but don't count on it. Many people work weekends and late nights. Even after working 80+ hour work weeks, and being a high contributor to your department, do not expect to be compensated for that performance in the form of a bonus.

Pros

Benefits Location Travel & networking opportunities

Cons

- Old fashioned "trader jerk" mentality and cut throat environment, bullying. - No salary increases unless you resign and get a counter offer. - Extremely high attrition/mercenary culture. - Long hours, manual tedious processes, poor leadership. - Head of HR resigned in 2019 as well as HR Business partners in London, Geneva and US. Replaced with inexperienced admins. - No training and development, lack of diversity.

Pros

Head trader in the U.S office very nice, if you want to survive in this company you have to make sure you hang out after work with the co-workers on a regular basis.

Cons

Where do I start, very unorganized company. Place has no protocol or procedures on how things work. Manager's concern more about partying then advancing. Don't give people a chance to learn and quick to make judgement.
