Pros

An exceptional place for fresh graduates to kickstart a career in trading. The company prioritizes mentorship and provides a steep but rewarding learning curve that truly helps you understand market dynamics. The casual dress code makes the floor feel approachable, and the hybrid work model (3 days in office, 2 from home) offers the perfect balance between team collaboration and personal flexibility.

Cons

Fast-paced environment (can be intense, but great for growth). "Margin Erosion": When giving too much to the client eats the profit. The company frequently introduces new features and enhancements, but system stability and platform reliability sometimes appear to lag behind. This can affect operational efficiency and potentially lead to loss of business opportunities during critical periods. This impact much on employee salary increment and bonus.
