Pros

Money, but nothing comes for free.

Cons

They try to be a tech company to entice the best grads and avoid the SEC and media focusing on what they really are - a flash boys hedge fund/high frequency trading firm. Senior partners have too much power and are massively out of touch due to their extreme wealth and egos. Argumentative discussion style. Disgusting wall street excess to the max.
