Pros

Remote role with ability to connect with previous industry connections for distribution.

Cons

I have never worked for a company that seemed so disconnected from the concept of company culture. It’s as if they’ve never considered the importance of human capital. The CEO is incredibly immature, frequently going on rants about firing people in public forums. When someone suggested he tone down the profanity during his conference presentations, his response was, “They don’t have to listen.” The Growth Officer’s title should be "Chief Anti-Growth Officer," as he seems to have no real understanding of sales. His background is primarily in due diligence, and he loves spouting off fact-filled speeches that are more about impressing himself than adding value. Severance is not provided to employees who are fired on a whim, which reflects an astonishing level of arrogance in this industry. The constant turnover is a clear indicator of a toxic work environment. Initially, they promoted their remote culture as a benefit, only to later suggest that turnover was high because they didn’t have a physical office. It’s baffling that they expect employees to survive in one of the most expensive regions in the country while being paid so poorly. I can't imagine everyone being thrilled about being in that new office every day with the arrogance in leadership. I genuinely feel sorry for anyone who joins this firm and believes they have a promising future with these leaders at the helm.

-It's fast paced -It's in a growth phase so structure and processes are still changing a lot, not the greatest if you are not the most flexible person -I left due to relocation because it's in office 5 days a week

Pros

There are some truly talented and wonderful people here. You're rewarded and incentivized by bringing good ideas to the table. The organization isn't "flat", but employees do have the ability to suggest ideas and to pursue them. People eat lunch together, warmly welcome new teammates, and are great at what they do. The funds and strategies are terrific products.

Cons

The teams can feel siloed, and there could be more clarity on decision-making. You will be in office five days a week as there isn't currently a policy on hybrid work. There are some busy seasons which mean it can be difficult to manage competing priorities, but this is work.
