Pros

The people are fantastic; motivated, outgoing, and intelligent.

Cons

They treat contingent workers badly. Terrible hourly wage, 60 hours a week routinely, dull backoffice work, with little respect or mobility given to people in contingent positions. To give perspective, I left the FX ICON team to become VP of machine learning at a competitive firm, so experience or competency was not an issue.They are genuinely treated poorly.

Pros

The firm encourages and supports to change teams, which is helpful in expanding experience or moving away if you aren't happy with your team

Cons

The promotion has become very opaque lately. They hardly give out promotions, but make you slog and overwork the whole year in the name of it. Basically, you have worked 200% and made to look like a fool by the end of the year.
