Pros

Really great facilities and benefits Nice, friendly, and generally good and smart people Lots of resources to do your job well Interesting work Great name Casual and pretty entrepreneurial environment

Cons

Comp FAR below competitors Limited growth, how much you grow or if you’re ever promoted really just depends on if the right people like you Pretty political Steve essentially pits the various businesses against each other which leads to a pretty unhealthy culture IMO A lot of management is a joke HR is a joke Very little job security, people are fired left and right with what seems like no rhyme or reason Impossible to get anything done, teams are generally very resistant to change and getting people on the same page

Pros

Excellect company culture, beautiful offices, very good compensation and benefits, amazing opportunities for professional development

Cons

Very fast paced and innovative with high expectations, if you aren't a fast learner and highly adaptive you won't last here. It's a hedge fund so be prepared for some serious egos, but generally speaking the people are quite nice. They don't have a CFO, so it sometimes feels like central coordination/strategy is lacking to the back office finance function.
