Pros

Great benefits No stress as not likely to be stretched Ambiable staff who are treated politely like paid help

Cons

Need to have FaceTime with frat boy management It is not what you do but who you play with that matters how you get ahead Any site out of Pasedena are just satellite offsite kept to maintain AUM from clients who don't know any better

Pros

Compensation was solid. Benefits were consistently good. The cafeteria was a real perk. Sounds trivial until you've worked somewhere that doesn't have one. Culture at the team level was collaborative, not cutthroat. If you liked fixed income, you could go deep on it here; the firm didn't try to be everything to everyone, which I respected.

Cons

Senior leadership could be opaque about direction.
