Annaly Capital Management Reviews

Pros

- Sophisticated firm that is transforming the mREIT industry - satisfying to be a part of - Relatively small staff size, so everyone counts. Exposure to all levels of management and staff and a range of business areas and work projects - Leadership with vision - Talented, collaborative, accountable colleagues who all pitch in - Excellent benefits - health care, subsidized lunch, generous maternity/paternity leave, emergency child care etc

Cons

As you woud expect in finance, you're expected to work hard and perform at a high level at all times

Pros

Annaly Capital Management was my first internship, so I really knew nothing about finance when I started. They were awesome, taught me EVERYTHING I needed to know. They sent us on a Bloomberg Training Program at the Bloomberg headquarters on 59th Street to teach us how to use the Bloomberg Terminal, and we had access to the Terminal from our computers every day at work. Learned so much, and it was a great foundation that well-prepared me for following internships.

Cons

Although the internship is amazing, it is a 10-week program during the summer and that is IT. If you are a rising senior and looking for full-time employment, they typically don't hire interns for full-time positions. If you're considering interning there as a rising senior, just ask if there are full-time opportunities if you do a good job.

Pros

The people at Annaly are one of the best parts of working there. Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful, and the work environment is very positive.

Cons

I can't say I have any real complaints about my experience at Annaly this past summer, other than it would be nice if they hired interns full-time.

Pros

Excellent benefits, generally nice people. Good hours. Easy work.

Cons

Death of former CEO brought out the worst in everyone. Original employees who weren't qualified to manage a Starbucks that lucked in to million dollar jobs through friends or family couldn't hack it when people who understood how Wall Street worked showed up. under new CEO the place turned in to a miserable environment with people too busy talking about each other to do any work and they imploded when asked to actually contribute more than their golf handicap. Fortunately they are all gone but some of the good ones left too and all that was left was a miserable shell.

Pros

Great company. Great Culture. people really care. Upward advancement potential.

Cons

Culture Changing. Going from family owned business to Corporate culture.
