Pros

The firm’s strong reputation and market presence make it highly effective at attracting top-tier talent and fostering initial excitement. However, it seems to rely more on its prestige than on creating an environment that encourages long-term career growth, as many talented individuals ultimately seek opportunities elsewhere.

Cons

The culture at this organization is disappointing and highly non-meritocratic, with problematic leadership dynamics that trickle down from the top. Employees with the highest pay and influence are not delivering the strongest returns, which is a glaring issue for a firm in this industry. The technology infrastructure is severely outdated, lagging well behind competitors, making it difficult to stay competitive or efficient.

Pros

Excellect company culture, beautiful offices, very good compensation and benefits, amazing opportunities for professional development

Cons

Very fast paced and innovative with high expectations, if you aren't a fast learner and highly adaptive you won't last here. It's a hedge fund so be prepared for some serious egos, but generally speaking the people are quite nice. They don't have a CFO, so it sometimes feels like central coordination/strategy is lacking to the back office finance function.
