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.
