Good for first job out of school, Don't stay beyond a year or two.
Anonymous EmployeeCurrent Employee, more than 5 yearsPros
Exposure to a variety of hedge fund strategies and overall hedge fund industry dymanics.
Cons
It's a family driven organization where family/friends of top management get preferrential treatment over professionals. This is not the place where you'll ever grow professionally unless you know the top management personally. Over the past 5 years the organization's head cout has reduced from 80 something to 40 something with a lot of seasoned professionals replaced by just out of school graduates. Top management is greedy and salaries are very low compared to industry standards and stay that way year after year.

Pros
It's a challenging and interesting place to work where you get to be in touch with titans of the hedge fund industry.
Cons
chaotic, no leadership, low pay scale, constantly changing policies, the senior management doesn't have a finance background making it difficult to articulate complex mathematical and financial concepts above, very high employee turnover, and a tough product to sell.
