A step above a chop shop

Pros

Ability to wear multiple hats since the partners have no clear vision. You will be pushed to learn programming if you do not already know how.

Cons

The two partners have no background in investments. They use the "fake til you make it" mantra that may work in tech but fails in investment management. The partners lied about AUM, strategic partners, and the financial health of the company. While trying to build a research product, the partners have alienated multiple counter parties. It is a hostile workplace. Alt-right political views are brought into the office place. Anti-Semitic statements have lead to departures. Misogynistic statements have lead to other departures. Outdated technology. A firm that prides itself on technological advantages has equipment that is almost a decade old. Toxic workplace with partners who lack the understanding that they have very little awareness of the industry. Their contrarian viewpoint comes across as argumentative because they are looking to build a brand as a contrarian despite not having done the work to support the view.

One of the worst places to work at

Pros

Long hours and lots of chest-thumping (if you're into that)

Cons

- Very little regard for employees (it's basically a sweatshop) - Pay is incredibly low even though the hours are very long and the responsibility immense - No clear set of responsibilities. People are expected to do everything and anything, whatever comes up, regardless of how unnecessary - The firm culture is so toxic that between 2016 and 2017, 95% of the firm's employees have quit, leaving it with just 3 employees
