Pros

The office at iCapital was very nice, a terrace that overlooked NYC and a sparkling water machine that (sometimes) produced carbonated flavored water.

Cons

Upper management operated and made decisions more like a traditional finance company than a Technology company. This translated to sub-par technology and in my opinon a lack of appreciation for technology initiatives. Simple technology related projects would take years to develop, if ever at all. Many team members felt overworked and received little to no help in terms of resources to be successful. This appeared to lead to poor morale and perhaps some critical turnover. At the end of the day iCapital looks and feels more like an admin shop, working its employees long hours, without critical resources, and with mediocre pay. Stay away if you're looking for a company that checks its politics at the door or is open to any semblance of work life balance. If you insist on entertaining the thought of working for them, just make sure you ask about their post-covid protocol.

Pros

• Fast‑paced environment that’s exciting and has helped me grow quickly. • Supportive manager who is based in another state but always available, approachable, and encouraging. • Inspiring number of women in leadership. • In a short time, I’ve seen real growth in both my skills and confidence.

Cons

• Training was less structured at the beginning, as the role and office were still being built. • I’ve been learning the role while also helping create processes and procedures for this location, which can feel challenging at times. • Expectations aren’t always clearly defined yet, but I’ve consistently been able to find support and answers when needed.
