Pros

Technically advanced. Mostly good people. Good maternity leave package.

Cons

Women get promoted after just 3 years on the post (even with 1 or 2 maternity leaves in between and so-so performance, although it helps if she is the wifey of some director in other department). For promoting men they really need to work hard and lucky if you are promoted after 5 years (that's if you are not Chinese, in that case you will get promoted... NEVER). Working with very intelligent quants can have some negative side effects like a good share of them are mental one way or another.

Pros

Workload is manageable they don’t put too much on you. Hybrid you come into office once a week.

Cons

Some managers are nice some are not and if you have a manager who doesn’t like you it will make the job stressful. If you get a zero for QA part of your bonus will be gone and if you get 3 within a 7 month period you will have to come into office 3 days a week and be on a final and will not get a bonus, bonuses could be higher in my opinion, if your not a good collector they could be as low as $500-$700 every 3 months if your a decent collector they could be $1500 every 3 months if your a good collector they could be $2250-$3375 every 3 months but the base pay isn’t high enough either it’s 50k to 56k all around just not enough money
