Pros

The office vibe is top-notch — Super modern space, awesome city views, free lunches sometimes and snacks, and really well-organised social events. It’s a fun place to come to work every day. Great team culture (in your bubble) — The admin/ops team is small but close-knit and super helpful. Everyone’s happy to pitch in when needed.

Cons

Career growth is a bit of a dead end — If you’re in an admin role, there’s not much of a ladder to climb. The company invests a lot in traders and engineers, but not so much in support roles. Different worlds under one roof — Trading, tech, and admin teams don’t always mix much. It can feel a little siloed unless you make the effort to connect.

Pros

The Training: Still one of the best "Trader 101" programs in the industry. The focus on options theory and market making is rigorous. The People: You’re surrounded by high-IQ quants and devs. Low ego at the junior level. Perks: baristas, great views, and a casual "wear what you want" culture that isn’t just PR.

Cons

Meritocratic (mostly): PnL speaks. If your desk makes money, you’re generally left alone to build. Cons: * Opacity: Bonus calculations and career progression feel like a black box. There’s a noticeable "inner circle" culture at the top. Work-Life Volatility: It’s prop trading, so hours are expected, but the "always-on" expectation for global shifts can be taxing without the commensurate pay bump seen elsewhere.
