      Pros

      - Compensation. Particularly the bonus growth in first ~3 years - Collaboration. Teamwork is valued highly - Innovation. The problems and technical/quantitative solutions are on the forefront of the industry

      Cons

      - Career growth is self-directed. You are guided, but it is still up to the individual to find the best way to apply his/her skillset and interest to have a largest impact - There can be ambiguity in how the company assesses contribution as it tries to balance results vs quality of ideas/process - US only has a Chicago office, but there are plans to expand geographically to other major tech and financial hubs

      Pros

      Good compensation, collaborative environment. Company also seems to aim to be at forefront of new tech such as AI

      Cons

      When HR mgmt is on record stating things like the company shouldn’t hire females anymore, it really makes you wonder how they make decisions on who should fill management positions
