Pros

Learned a great deal about listed derivatives (futures and options), trade life cycle, got to collaborate with some talented and knowledgeable people. Core leave policy was also a nice excuse to take a 2 week vacation.

Cons

Poor management of their human capital, unwillingness to add headcount where it was urgently needed, increase in workload and decrease in bonus with no raises for 3 straight years, so essentially I was taking on more work and responsibility for less pay. On top of that, they were not willing to support my career aspirations (project management training) since it did not directly relate to futures. Got a taste of what it was like to be in a dictatorial regime.
