Pros

Some of the most talented and approachable investment professionals in the industry. Depending on your role, you can have the opportunity to work with some of the best and brightest.

Cons

Promises told to you so you join the company, but no follow on those promises. HR team does not support employees at all. It is easier to get FaceTime with the CFO then it is to reach anyone in HR. The company prides themselves on being lean when in reality they are badly understaffed and do not invest in their employees. Forced to work long hours, weekends and during your vacation. No support at all. No one even takes lunch breaks. Toxic culture with no reward for hard work. Almost impossible to get promoted unless you have personal relationships. It is not merit based.
