Pros

The traders are competent. Smart people work there.

Cons

The culture can be particularly nasty at times, especially when working long hours in a highly competitive environment. It's not uncommon to be berated or personally insulted by other traders, managers, and brokers/traders from other firms, to the extent that it's actually similar to high school bullying. There was also inadequate training from senior traders as they were often too busy with daily trading activities to train new traders (not enough support given to compensate for this...i.e. extra training classes--a few new traders slipped through the cracks because of this). I was in the Eurodollar group, which is the same group the CEO trades in.

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.
