HFR Asset Management Reviews

Pros

Everyone is super supportive, organized, and helpful!

Cons

None. none. none. none. none.

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.

Pros

low pay but not awful - its tough to move up and make some real money....good people and decent benefits. they provide snacks and drinks.

Cons

very middle management type of company. lot of people who have been there forever and aren't ever leaving so it either takes them to get promoted or leave for you to move up...low ball you on salary

Pros

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

The people, decent work hours in certain departments.

Cons

Base pay is laughable, zero training, culture of complacency, no support for furthering education, the company name isn't as reputable as it once was.

Pros

entrepreneurial environment and the ability to take ownership of work.

Cons

poor mismanagement, people going through the motions, no team cohesion.

Pros

Full flexibility to work from home. Good pay but very basic bonus and little benefits. Very flexible and lean structure, entrepreneurial management.

Cons

For somebody coming from large organisations, this will not only feel entrepreneurial but also unprofessional.

Pros

The ability to network and learn from the vast knowledge and resources present within the hedge fund managers and industry.

Cons

Senior management doesnt respect its employees. Also, over the past 5 years there has been a serious brain drain from HFR as a number of key employees have left.

Pros

Not a bad place to work, decent pay, but never enough

Cons

Not a bad place to work but no advancements for me

Pros

Good launch pad, but don't stay long.

Cons

High turnover; employees aren't valued as long-term assets but rather as expendable.
