      Top-class Culture at a Top-Tier Buyside Firm

      Pros

      The culture is truly what sets this firm apart. Despite the rapid growth, Ares still maintains a "small-firm" feel in that there is so much collaboration between groups/departments. The firm does not have the hierarchical system that is commonplace at the NY-based financial services firms because employees here are given the oppty to challenge themselves and develop their skillset. Employees who take on more are rewarded because this firm prefers to promote from within than hire lateral talent. In addition, the benefits are top-notch, the compensation is on par w/ the best-in-class firms and the firm is continuing to expand.

      Cons

      I have not come across any that are worth noting.

      Pros

      Good benefits and competitive salaries

      Cons

      It's a culture that is built on politics. It's a matter of who likes you and who has more power
