Pros

Mission is inspiring and most colleagues are great

Cons

Poor leadership, burn out culture, low pay and little to no bonuses, all while you hear constantly how well iff leadership is and how big and well-performing the AUM portfolio is. Very little positive recognition. Leadership doesn’t do a good job with clear strategy, direction and vision. Leaves many teams rudderless and and feeling either in the dark or in question of the strength or intention of leadership
