Pros and cons of working at Eclipse Trading
Pros
A large range of new concepts that take a long time to learn and master, so it's never really monotonous.
Work-life balance.
Fixed working hours, flat structure, fast-paced learning environment.
Challenging with a lot of responsibilities from the get-go, but the people around me are always happy to help.
Casual dress code
Cons
Workload can get a bit heavy especially for juniors as we lack the necessary skills to complete tasks in time.
Definitely gets a bit intense sometimes, but that's part in parcel of a job in this industry.
Need to have basic knowledge/interest in the financial markets.
