Pros

Incredibly successful investment management firm with an engaged and high performing team of employees across all divisions. An investment management firm who's principles revolve around client alignment, many firms preach this, few actually do it - GQG does. A management team that seem genuinely willing to listen to staff feedback and when appropriate use this to continually optimise the business.

Cons

Not a firm that will be suitable for all types of employees. You'll be challenged here and as it is with all small firms required to do functions that you may think are outside your modus operandi. The time zone difference!

Pros

Some really great team members

Cons

There are too many to list, but I'll keep it short and professional. - COO is the worst person you'll ever meet in life. She lies/covers up facts to the CIO, CEO, staff, and clients. - CIO is hiding behind glass doors with blinders on - Management is completely incompetent and has no idea how to run a business - Incompetent staff get rewarded while others who are over qualified and work above and beyond get thrown under the bus - The so-called "rockstars" are friends of the COO and CEO or were referred by friends, and are far from rockstars - Speaking the truth gets you in trouble - Unrealistic job expectations - Pay is well below industry standards, especially when you consider the amount of work they expect you to do - Despite of the repetitive use of the word "culture," there is none! - No work/life balance - All of the good reviews were either written by management or by staff who were advised to write a positive review If you are considering working here, stop thinking and run fast and far away!!

Pros

Management leaves you to do your own thing mostly because they don't understand the intricacies of their own business. Which does enable someone who has a strong skill set to shine. If you're in the "Seattle crew" you'll win. Growing company with increasing assets. Decent work/life balance.

Cons

I would have to agree with some of the previous reviewers regarding the negative culture at the firm. If the CEO can actually call it culture. Just because you say the word culture over and over doesn't mean you actually create a positive one. How can management that works from a distance and is completely disconnected create one. I think the fact that there has been close to 80% turnover at the firm says it all. Either they hire wrong or people just ask to leave...either way that turnover number tells you about management. I have never felt more demoralized by anyone personally or professionally than the COO/CIO. Just thinking of the place makes my skin crawl. Please please please do your due diligence if you join the firm. I dont know about some of the positive reviews on this site but as you can see they are glowing and immediately followed more truthful reviews. Looks like an owner of a restaurant defending themselves after a bad review on YELP..it's obvious. But that's their MO. COO has a real lack of knowledge of the inner workings of some of the business and has her moles in the firm and will undercut you at any point. Eyes wide open....
