Lender of Absolute Last Resort - Investment Professional Hercules Capital Employee Review

Pros

The base salary wasn't bad. There are a few good people stuck there.

Cons

Before considering a job a Hercules, reach out on LinkedIn to one of the dozen people that left in 2014 / 2015 - CFO, CCO, General Counsel, Managing Directors, Principals, HR, Associates, etc. - they will be afraid to be overly honest (for fear of the crazy CEO) but you will be able to read between the lines. The CEO is unstable. He will smile and shake your hand at the interview and then curse you and threaten to fire you along with everyone else. The reputation is so bad that getting a company to take their money is nearly impossible. Promises aren't kept. Incentive comp is a fantasy you wont see.
