Pros

Only work here if you have no other options.

Cons

Non-stop micromanaging, unprofessional, out of touch senior management who don't honor their agreements. Equipment is old, working conditions for mid-level and lower mangement are crowded, and run down.

Pros

The role involves thoughtful, detail-oriented investment work, with exposure to complex transactions and a disciplined process. The team is collaborative and approachable, and junior professionals are given real responsibility while still having support when needed. There are strong opportunities to learn across industries and deal structures, with a good amount of mentorship along the way. Compensation and benefits are competitive, including solid healthcare and a sense of stability. The firm also makes day-to-day life easier with meals provided, a dinner stipend in the evenings, and transportation covered for late nights.

Cons

You get direct, day-to-day exposure to the CIO and CEO. That can be intimidating at first, but it’s a real advantage—you’re working closely with two thoughtful, highly capable leaders who are invested in development. There’s also a strong emphasis on structure, with trackers and checklists that keep the team organized and accountable. It reinforces a merit-based culture where people who perform well are recognized, regardless of level.
