    4. 4.0
      Current Employee, more than 3 years

      Good work life balance but pay not competitive

      Pros

      Good working atmosphere, nice people and the work life balance is good in terms of not needing to work longer hours than contracted. Nice lunch.

      Cons

      Hybrid working policy is 4 day office week, 1 day from home. Not unusual in hedge funds but not particularly desirable for a place that pays undermarket compared to other hedge funds.
