- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Relaxed work environment for an investment firm Staff are bright, interesting and generally kind people Pay is very generous relative to most industries (not sure about relative to other hedge funds)
Cons
Work is pretty meaningless - if you seek a sense of purpose in your work, this probably isn't your industry As of a few years ago, investment in diversity, equity, and inclusion was poor Perspective of leadership was over-focused on finding "smart" people rather than developing people and team
