Pros

There are a handful of gems at the company, but they are leaving.

Cons

1) Underpaying employees - everyone I know that has left is making 10-30K more after leaving, and those were for non-trading roles. 2) The environment is toxic. REALLY TOXIC. 3) Your expertise does not matter to them. Even if you are hired to do a job, if the ownership has made up their mind, you have already lost. 4) Upper management. This one is two fold, as they are not actually able to do the work they need to (a waste of talent in that regard) and seem to be grossly blind to the reality and feelings of their employees.

Smart people and opportunity to move around the portfolio companies and new projects if you raise your hand. Beautiful office space,

Demanding environment with very high expectations (can be unrealistic).
