Pros

Fantastic environment. Very supportive colleagues with a strong focus on your self improvement and growth. Very friendly also.

Cons

There is a strong macro-focus. This could be a pro if you're interested in that but as a equity researcher, whether your ideas get actioned depends upon if they align with the overall focus on the firm.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear you’ve experienced a supportive, growth-oriented environment and enjoy working with your colleagues. We appreciate your point about the firm’s macro-focus and how it can influence which ideas move forward. We are continually considering how we can best manage individual investment ideas into the broader investment process but your comment is useful in understanding perspectives within the firm.
