Pros

- Working hours are very good - Atmosphere is relaxed

Cons

- Ineffective management structure - No professional or personal growth - Poor quality work - Very little responsibility given - No opportunities for initiative or distinction - Lack of options outside DFA - Compensation is good for job, but low compared to industry - Office was like a cult - you are not allowed to have your own opinion, you must learn the market efficiency beliefs (which is fine), but you have to speak in a certain way and are only allowed to answer client questions with approved answers which you memorize .... no need to think for yourself!
