1. Since core teams are small in size by design from the start of the firm, sometimes one does almost every aspect of the process, including research, analytics, and portfolio. Such an experience helped immensely in my learning process and gave me hands-on in a different process in the DevOps pipeline. However, for some individuals, this can be overwhelming.
2. Since core business is US-based, it is sometimes difficult to manage time zones, and work can stretch very late in the night.
3. One needs to be efficient in planning and executing their work time as all the processes have a faster turn-around. This leaves less time to think about more complex problems.
