Pros

Everyone nice, everyone smart, entrepreneurial attitude

Cons

Lots of engineers even senior lack outside experience. Hard to get anything done outside of established boundaries, lots of inertia around existing tech and lack of outside perspective makes it hard to point out problems or suggest solutions outside of expectation

Double edged sword

Pros

Good learning experience, lots of hands on projects, give you a good career in the HFT field in long term. And obviously very good paid despite being stressful.

Cons

Extremely stressful. Competitive internally. Lots of Layoff for employees with no career growths, especially those that have been around for longer than 3 years without plan to be a senior developer. Direct feedback culture can be seen as toxic. Hire too much in short term and now the growth does not cover the cost anymore, be careful to join as a new grad.
