Pros

Small, very entrepreneurial, with ambitious mindset. Still a dominant force in trading and certain IB industries, but trying to punch above its weight elsewhere is counterproductive.

Cons

Brutal culture. Juniors get crushed and simply use it as a stepping stone elsewhere. High MD turnover. Constantly over promise and under deliver.
