Pros

Getting paid while you attempt to find a new job. They pay for your certifications and review classes. Hours aren't bad because nobody cares anymore.

Kontras

This is a company that has no future. Senior managers are fleeing here like its on fire. Tax director quit after a little over two years. The controller split too. Most other competent finance staff has split too. The work is just consolidated and so are the groups. No real procedures and processes in place. They just keep putting people under a "managing director" in the back office that had been there forever. Most people I have met here could never hack it on Wall Street. Front office is a mess and is filled with people hand picked by the CEO. Don't believe your recruiters about working here. They are selling you a false hope so they can't put money in their pockets.

Pros

- Very good tech support staff willing to share information and support business lines - Decent trading infrastructure despite occasional reliability issues - Excellent post trade processing - Movement within the firm is possible only if politically connected - Fairly focused business model (can be a pro and a con)

Kontras

- Highly political, play football with Velli and you're safe. - Current obsession to position the firm for an IPO has led to a pattern of older, highly competent, personnel to be let go. - They tend to follow any technology trend by about 6 months - Zero appetite for any risk, yet believe returns should remain at high levels - Non existent employee feedback unless you're fired. - Reliance on a small number of large clients - Little mobility within the firm. (Hey Joe, Of the 15 or so people (all age 45+) you've fired in the past year NONE of them had the ability to work in another area??? - No clear policy on when someone does get fired if they get to hang around in an office for a while or be out the door in 10 minutes? Again, the football thing makes all the difference.
