Pros

The money was the best thing about this job. And I'm only putting that here because there's a requirement for a pro.

Cons

Almost every company is fairly bad at giving their people a proper work/life balance. Hedgeserv takes it to an extreme. Mother just died? That's rough. When are you coming back to work? Wife is sick and needs surgery so you want to take time off? You're fired. No explanation other than "this isn't working out". (These are not an exaggerations, either. This happened.) Management doesn't care about you. They don't hide it. They don't sugarcoat it. They'll tell you flat out they don't care if you've worked fourteen hour days for weeks plus weekends. But they sure will care if you want a comp day or two to cover that. How dare you need time away from work? The positive reviews on here are plants designed to bring up the company's rating because it's been an anchor around bringing new people in. This isn't an exaggeration either. Numerous recruiters highlighted Hedgeserv's Glassdoor rating as a problem for the company because numerous candidates saw it and suddenly declined interviews and offers. Certain individuals have taken it on themselves to make this place seem like less of a trainwreck. But there isn't enough lipstick to put on this particular pig to make it appealing.

Pros

Exposure to complex fund accounting. Which adds up to constant pressure.

Cons

Deadlines kept piling up, and there were times when I felt completely overwhelmed with little guidance available.
