Pros

+ You get to work with most if not all components of trading, which is quite rare and a good learning opportunity + Friendly colleagues + Catered lunch daily

Cons

- They are not interested in your career progression or growth at all, you might be enticed by the starting pay but consider if you're willing to stick to it for the next few years - Micro management - Unrealistic expectations of quality vs timelines (you'll frequently hear things like "you should just need a few hours for that")

Pros

The company got a lot of things right: - The overall direction makes sense and is well-communicated - Good flexibility and autonomy - Very supportive and efficient office environment - Healthy mix of senior and junior staff

Cons

- Lack of clear boundaries and responsibilities sometimes hampers efficiency and makes communication more difficult - Organic growth of the company left some positions empty, so a few things that would be standard in an established fund have to be re-invented, with the associated problems
